Timeline not changing frequently? - sh.itjust.works

Not sure if this is isolated to me, but when sorting by Active, my Subscribed, Local and All feeds pretty much don’t change for multiple days. I have to sort by New, Hot, etc. to get new content, but even those feeds stay somewhat constant. Is this a problem with how the Lemmy feed algorithms work? Or is it a queueing issue, like how Mastodon refreshes timelines?

Same thing here, I assume it's because the posts are still getting comments days later

I’ve seen other posts say this is a bug introduced in the version of Lemmy deployed yesterday.

It definitely should be a top priority for the team to fix though — it seems to have really exacerbated the problem.

Lemmy is having growing pains and there are problems with internal tasks not updating the database correctly plus I'm sure individual instances would want to change some of these parameters to define what is 'active' in terms of age criteria, etc.

I've noticed similar stuff. My home page / active feed stays the same pretty much all day. I'll check it the next day and see some new content refreshed; probably a symptom of kbin being relatively "new" in terms of an influx of activity, so it likely won't be cycling through content as much as, say, Reddit may have been.

Who knows? Still, I'm happy to be here and looking forward to seeing this place grow more!

Reddit could be very stale over the course of a day too. The major difference is the depth was longer due to more content. I definitely had many days where I'd consumed everything in the reddit front page and had not much new there.

It's a known issue on lemmy, the servers need to be restarted to refresh the front page
