My disclaimer is that I am excited using the fediverse as alternative from Reddit (I have switched to Mastodon from Twitter).

I have been trying a combination of lemmy.world, kbin and a lemmy app like MemmyApp. Each one, I look at “All” and try various things like “hot”, “active”, “top day” and etc. Each one produces different results. And it is not even close. Rarely are there same posts across each. Also, on lemmy.world, after I sort on one of these, a few seconds go by and it won’t stop scrolling with a blast from same communities and users.

So… what is it I am doing wrong? How do I make my experience more enjoyable? Am I the only one?

(Note: I am aware that kbin/lemmy have their own local and therefore, that would be different, but the “All” filter?)

    Great thoughts on all of it. I am definitely trying to keep and open mind, but also trying to find an experience that works. With that said, I do understand that it is growing too.

    Part of my questioning is more about understanding “what is to be expected” as per design vs “what is a ‘known bug’”. So maybe I should have made that clearer from the start too.

    Side note - I saw someone post a meme on here where they showed that Lemmy is the power of multiple instances bound together, but that felt “off” given the current experience. It feels more like they are interwoven, but the strands are a little loose still. My hope is that over time that changes and the data in each community, at the very least, is consistent.

    I remain very hopeful for sure.
