The problem is currently that by default it shows active posts, and its been the same posts for days now. What options do you use for sorting when doomscrolling to see interesting content?
Make sure to uncheck “show read posts” in your settings. That way stuff you’ve already seen/up voted/read will make way for new things
I keep it on Active, but I have “Show read posts” unticked, so posts i voted on don’t show up again
Active seems to show the posts that people are commenting on, whereas Hot seems to be better for showing newer content.
just got remined to sort by new, so new now.
Thank you - also “new”, as of now!
Top Day, New, Active
mine is: subscribed + new comment.
subscribed because I can control what I saw on homepage and new comment because “new comment” not only include old post with new comment, but also freshly created post.I always sort new, check subscribed first and all second. Sometimes I check all and active. I keep adding communities as I find them, so I’m sure at some point I’ll be fine with just subscribed new.
I’ve been primarily sorting by new. While on other sites I don’t like sorting by new because you’ll see 90% low-quality posts, Lemmy is small and passionate enough that nearly all posts will be good quality.
I sort by new and selecting to show all posts (instead of only the posts of your instance) helps to keep my feed fresh always + I get to know new communities.
Having the same problem, but I think I read somewhere they are working on fixing it?
Because it keeps resetting to Active and Local after a while, so I also keep seeing the same posts.
There’s also an option in your profile options that changes your default sort
On desktop, I made a shortcut to my subscribed communities sorted by new. I did the same with Firefox Android
