Viewing posts by all tends to be dominated by a few communities
Viewing posts by all tends to be dominated by a few communities - Lemmy.world
I’ve noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn’t very different than just looking at [email protected] [[email protected]] or [email protected]. Before someone says “you can just block communities you don’t want to see,” it’s not that I never want to see them, it’s that I want to be able to have a view that shows me what is new and popular in a wide variety of communities. I appreciate seeing a few good memes in my feed. The problem is when that’s all I see. Changing the sort from active to hot or top x days doesn’t have much effect on which communities dominate, so that isn’t the solution either. Lemmy devs - if you are reading this - it would be nice to have a feed that limited the number of posts showing up from any particular community. It could be a simple cutoff of 2 or 3 posts, or maybe some wort of weighting function to cause additional posts from the same community to appear lower in the sort order for that feed. I’d love to hear what devs and other uses think about this.
