I tend to miss posts in smaller communities, no matter what sorting options I use when I display the "Subscribed" feed on the frontpage.

If I sort by "New", unsurprisingly most new posts are on the popular communities. Same if I select "Hot", "Active", or "Top Hour" etc. Overall it makes sense, small communities don't have new content as often, and threads there are not that "active" as there not many users.

I think the algorithm should somehow ensure a more diverse feed. There also no "multi-reddits" atm, so you can't just create a feed of those smaller communities.

Of course, I could create another account and only subscribe to small communities, but that's inconvenient. Simply checking them manually is what I do atm, but it's also not that convenient. A temporal solution might be using the RSS feeds, but overall it seems something should be done about it on Lemmy's end.

So, anyone else experiencing that or am I missing something? Because if I am not the only one then perhaps this issue should be brought to the attention of the devs (if it wasn't already).

I use different accounts for different purposes. One for generic tech news, another one for niche hobbies

This guy took the lemm.ee TLD literally

well i don't remember purchasing lemm.ee

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean the .ee, technically it's for Estonia but i don't think it's supposed to be an estonian instance (or maybe I'm getting woooshed by your comment, in which case never mind)

there is an estonian community there but the instance is not for estonian
