Over the last few days, it seems that filtering by Hot or Active just makes me see the same posts I’ve seen over the last few days (stealing memes meme and $4k fridge).
Filtering by New on Lemmy, however, is not the toxic filth that Reddit is, and generally gets the job done.
Unless I am doing something wrong, Hot and Active seem to not update enough / hide what I’ve already seen. I am doing my Subscribed, about 20 subs.
Try kbin.social. As far as I know they are the only server that has a Frontpage that updates regularly.
The problem with kbin is that navigating to individual subscribed “magazines” is a shit experience. You have to go into your settings. Also why is it called magazine? It just doesn’t match with any mental concepts IMHO.
This. Tried both kbin and a lemmy instance and although the kbin experience at the beginning of the week was shit (slow and no federation) there was still more new content on then Frontpage than on lemmy (or I was using it wrong).
