So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did… you know… and we’re on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

The lemmy front page default sort is broken IIRC. try sorting by new comments.
I tried sorting by “New”, and while that does show me new content, it won’t show me new content that the community thinks it’s good (that’s the whole point about having a voting system).
I’ve changed from the default (i.e. “Active”) into “Hot”, but the frontpage is still very stale.
One reddit feature I do miss is the ability to automatically hide posts that you already upvoted or downvoted. That would keep my frontpage relatively fresh.
The good thing about Lemmy is that it’s open source. Community requests are easy to make and will be discussed. Creating third party apps should not be an issue either.
The bad thing about Lemmy, on the other hand, is that it’s open source. There’s no VC funding to hire hundreds of overpaid developers to fix things quickly, so we just have to be a bit patient and give the devs time to make the necessary changes.
Yes, I’m fully aware of that, and I’m OK with waiting. I’ve been favouring the use of open-source software for a long time, and that’s not about to change.
Just pointing out some areas that could potentially have a large ROI when it comes to the devs’ time.
