The default "Active" sort option does that. Try "Hot" instead.
Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I'm not using Lemmy to its potential.
My favorite is top12 or 6 hour. Feels like Reddit used to.
Good defaults also do a lot. The smaller the manual new users need to get a good experience on Lemmy, the more successful we will be at rebuilding what got lost on Reddit.
Try "sexy"
Try "yummy"
Try "moist"
Oh, wow! Until now I just assumed that you just need to wait longer to see new stuff, but this actually changes quite a lot. Thanks!
I still don't get why Lemmy instances don't default to "Hot". Kbin does it right by going with "Hot" as default. All "Active" does is dog pile on posts that are almost a day old, sometimes even older than that.
You know what, what's even the point of "Active" at this point with so many active users?
I agree. The way "active" is configured probably made sense when there was <1000 active accts bit things have changed.
It just show dead threads instead it seems
