Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Lemmy needs better sort options. Certain communities get a ton more posts than other communities, so their posts wind up being a huge percentage of the front page.
Lemmy needs a hot+diverse sort option that weights against posts in a community that already has a lot of posts on the the front page of hot.
I don't want to block those communities, i just want to see other topics too
I think the "scaled" option does that more or less
I'm my experience the scaled sort just has the same problem only the opposite. You end up with a feed full of mostly brand new posts in empty communities.
Either a dozen posts by a moderator of one community, or a single user posting the same thing to a dozen vaguely related communities.
yeah, it's not the best. might be good to have an option that makes it so you can't get stuff from the same community more than a couple times in a row.
