Haha. We will be making sure we don't repeat any for a good, long while. We don't want to have the same ones all the time. Our first priority is community growth and we want to highlight communities that need a boost over those that are thriving already.

I wish lemmy had a "reduce the posts from this group because rhey post a ton and clog my feed but I like em just not too much" button. Like lemme see an option for 50% of posts from said group. Or 25% or 75%. Had to block Risa but I don't hate em

I could swear I read about a sort option that does just that...

Yeah, here it is in github, "This is done in the back-end, just needs to get added as a post sort option."

It's also referenced in the Lemmy Docs under Votes and Ranking, "Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities"

Fuck me if I can figure out how to use it, though.

Instance needs to be running 0.19 for scaled sort

[–] CharlesMangione 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do I uh... do that?

[–] canthidium 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't, lol. Unless you're running your own instance, but 0.19 has not been released yet. LW will be updated once it does. 0.18.5 is still the current release.

Oh instance, I have been referring to eg beehaw as servers, but in context it's obvious what you mean now. Do I understand correctly that lemmy.world is the "main" or "primary" instance?
