Hey, I’m subscribed to a variety of communities in different instances (my “home” instance is lemmy.world) all of them with varying degrees of activity but some nonetheless, when I enter the “subscribed” feed, all is overwhelmingly populated by one community. I guess its because this community is way bigger than the others and it overshadows the post coming from others. As its understandable i would like this feed to be more of a mix of all the c/ that I follow, so i guess my question is, Is there a new sorting algorithm in the works? Is it a feature its being worked on? Or is this by design and it will stay this way? Also, is this something that an instance can change on its own? I know lemmy is open source and that probably the host could change something like this but maybe it breaks the activitypub protocol something, I don’t know.

  • I’ve seen talk on GitHub issues of changing exactly how it works but not sure how high priority that is right now.

    If the really big community is on your home instance, one workaround is to actually unsub because you’ll see it in the local/all feeds anyway.

    Alternatively try changing your default sort, I’m on new comments which does at least mean I only see the big threads when someone is chatting in them.
