I’m subscribed to several dozens communities, but on the main page they usually appear the same ones over and over (except when sorting by “New”).
On Reddit I grouped them by topic and the weight of giant communities was diluted and I believe there was some sort of algorithm too.
But, is there any way to give more importance to posts coming from smaller communities on Lemmy from Jerboa?
I’m not sure the active and hot sort options are working as intended
The same posts are at the top from 7 days ago for me
Sorting by new is ok at the moment due to the lower number of posts
I think that has been confirmed as a bug and will be fixed next release.
I think your reply doesn’t apply to Jerboa. Sorting algorithms should be managed server side.
It would be great to have some way to give some more weight to small communities. At the moment my solution is to browse the communities separately although I definitely would prefer a “front page” with a variety of stuff…
Maybe add a weight to each community based on its activity relative to the user’s other subscriptions, and use that when creating the feed. I really need to dive into the codebase…
I think it should be like this. Look at the number of community members and the upvote rate they received. For example, if there are 100 people in a community and they get 10 upvotes, they should get ahead of 90 upvotes in a community of a thousand people.
