It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.
When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.
I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.
Hot and Active sorting kind of suck right now tbh. Try top>day or something.
Edit to elaborate: I believe active heavily weighs recent comments and it sort of creates a feedback loop where someone comments, putting the post to top of active, then others see it there and comment on it perpetuating the cycle.
The website now let’s you sort top 12h, 6h, and 1h too but no apps seem to have that implemented yet.
Oh and sort by All not Local to see communities from other instances that users on your instance have subscribed to.
Check lemmyverse.net too to look for communities no ones subscribed to where you are yet.
the liftoff app on android has sort by top 12/6/1hr, as of the latest update from yesterday or so. works really well!
Wefwef also has it
Oh great, that’s one of my preferred apps. Thanks for letting me know.
