Hi transitioning from Reddit after being there since before Digg migration. Liking Lemmy but having 2 issues hoping to get advice on. Using firefox on mac.
- Content movement: from the home screen when I select all, there is a loading period and the posts are populated. However as new instances collect everything just piles into the top making pics/posts I'm looking at move and self close. Is this expected behavior?
- Ranking: imo the breakthrough reddit provided was in aggregating and ranking via votes. Whether it is through hot, controversial, top, etc there is an underlying algorithm that orders the posts. Due to the way content seems to come in from instances, I seem to get two different behaviors. The main page is either blocks of rank lists from each instance instead of a single rank order or the setting (hot, activity, top, etc) just doesn't seem to apply. The linked image is a screenshot of an attempt to filter all by top of week. The top posts have 1-2 votes on them.
These are probably just bugs on my end and I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
X posted as realize this is a much more appropriate place to ask - thanks for understanding!
