I must be doing something wrong. I only see like the same 5 communities, and occasionally several copies of the same post. It's harshing my mellow because i know there's more content out there, i just can't see it for some reason

Yeah i'm still trying to settle on a default filter. I also have all popular meme communities blocked so maybe this is why, as the bulk of the content is well, memes.

If Lemmy's had a million posts, i'm struggling to see em? My instance is pretty open and has had no defedding dramas AFAIK? (is there a way to see this?)

For blocked instances, open yours in a browser, scroll down to the bottom and click “instances”. The list will appear on this page.

Are you sorting by All, Local, or Subscribed?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sort by all.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's probably only all communities people from your instance (lemm.ee) are subscribed to.

Whereas someone from lemmy.world will see a different "all" (everything on lemmy.world + what lemmy.world members are subscribed to

You would never see a half an hour old post on reddit hot sort. Look on local or subscribed, and if you want variety sort by new on all

Idk why people want to see half hour old posts. That just makes hot random, not interesting.

Is there a community for users with strange names?

Is there a community exclusively for users with strange names? And if so, how is qualifying strangeness determined?
