This is where I believe that other site did a decent job with their front page: they created filters that divided it into most popular, what's trending, and what's new. I like seeing posts from the variety of different communities, but I do not necessarily want to see every single post. Especially the ones from the same community, in succession. Having a way to only see the ones that are considered "popular" would be nice.
Lemmy has 3 different feeds with 8 different ways to sort them, atleast my viewer does…. What more do you want?
Curating a feed is best left to yourself, not someone who can tweak the algorithm to avoid certain posts showing up since they have an agenda.
They just said what they want. 😅 You can disagree with someone but no need to get high and mighty about it.
I use the Voyager app to browse Lemmy and it has those filters.
The problem here isn't that Lemmy doesn't have good enough ways to sort content; the problem is that it's still small and doesn't yet have enough content to sort.
The word algorithm has a bad reputation here, and there is a lot of abuse in over tuning it, but Reddit does do a better job showing me things I want while showing me bits from other communities. Even though there are 8 sorting algorithms here none of them quite satisfy my want. Scaled is a little closer but gives too many posts from the same community.
