I really want to like Lemmy (lemmy.zip)

I really want to like lemmy, but it's difficult. I'm new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but... I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren't that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It's not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

Is there a way to stop everything from constantly updating/moving around once I've loaded the page? It's like it adds new posts to the top (even when sorting by active/hot) and bumps everything down.

I don't think so, seen a lot of people talking about that. I tend to stay in Subscribed/New, so it's not a thing I see often, but I know what you mean.

I think maybe developers are working on it, but not sure tbh.

Oh well, thanks for your response. I'm sure it will get sorted eventually.

Yeah, hope so.
