The front page of Lemmy is mostly posts from 2-4 days ago. I can see people getting bored/not bothering to check back if it's always the same posts on the default sort. (lemmy.world)

The problem is actually not that there isn’t enough new content. Sort by new and see your front page get flooded every second. The problem seems to be the sort options bugging out for days at a time

Yeah I'm starting to see this as well. On my second or third day here and the front page is the same, I have to actively look for more. That's going to drive away new folks

@c2h6 @nieceandtows They are fixing it should be fixed in next update. To make your feed fun sort by new post and sort by new comments. Makes everything so nice.

Just noticed your comment. Looks like the mention is not working this way. I don't see anything in the mentions tab for me.

@nieceandtows Yes wired. Could be a bug

It used to be good, I think the something broke when we crossed 10k users on this instance. I don't think sh.itjust.works has the same issue.

Yea, I think a custom sort/filter option would be innovative comparing with other UX: e.g. I want all the newest posts of my subbed list with more than 3 comments and certain keywords in/out rather than just hot/new/most comments. RES partially enabled this.
