Hey lemmings.

I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.

Is there a way to increase their visibility?

I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie [email protected] can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.

I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.

Cheers!

    This is just me, but I just sort by “new” and make a particular effort to unsubscribe from stuff that’s cluttering the feed, and that seems to give me a pretty good mix of content.

      I am on a small instance, so if i am not subbed, they will never make it to “ALL”.

      I am still interested in the others that i am subbed to, but i want the very small ones to float to the top easier.

      I guess by NEW will help, but they will get flooded out by the larger comms that have more posts. catch-22

        Hm, you might have to take specific steps to get subscribed to stuff you want to see. Personally I find browsing ‘ALL’ to be a pretty unproductive experience… what I might do instead is just navigate to a couple of the likely-seeming instances (roughly in order of “big -> good”: lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, kbin.social, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz) (also beehaw), pop up their big community lists, and do some copy-pasting into your own instance’s search bar so you can subscribe to a bunch of the stuff from everywhere that you want to see. I’ve done that one time from a smaller instance and it seemed like worked out pretty well for me (in terms of the time investment being worth it for setting up a feed that I wanted to see.)
