I’m seeing the same front page for days, how can I go about changing what I’m seeing to see more active threads or is it just dead in my subscribed communities?
I’ve noticed my feed can look stagnant if I go by the default, which is Local and Active. I instead set it to Subscribed and New
On Reddit, New wasn’t the best since posts were made so quick and a lot of them were low-effort, but at least in the communities I’m subbed to, posts are generally made slower, but are higher quality, making sorting by new valid.
What I did early on was set the feed to all. As I found items of interest I would subscribe. There are new communities being created every day. There’s always something new to see.
Sort content by new? instead of hot or trending.
If you set in your profile settings “hide read posts” and then vote/click on each post you see you get only new posts
My Lemmy bookmark is the URL with the home feed set to sorting by new. Perhaps they should tweak how the active sorting works to de-prioritize old posts, but for now setting it to new works for me.
