Same posts each time I open my app, always the same boring topics about bugs and how people feel, this is getting old fast. Not that I am going back to reddit, but don’t think I will stay on lemmy either.
It does seem that both hot and active are moving pretty slowly. I’ve found that “new” is actually the way to see a constant stream of new content, so maybe giving that a try will help.
Same
I second this, when I selected New, I started to see more interesting content.
are you contributing? This place is only as interesting as you make it
This a thousand times. I mainly lurked on Reddit and I’m trying to actually contribute here. Sometimes I fear that no one will care what I have to say, but someone needs to start the conversation.
Yeah, I’m the same, used to just lurk on Reddit. But with Lemmy trying to engage with the communities a bit more. Its actually quite nice, a small sense of camaraderie as people try to encourage everyone else to contribute.
That and since Lemmy is open source and federated, I feel more comfortable here than Reddit
Contributing does little to help the issue at the moment, as the hot and active sort has crashed and stopped updating since a couple of days ago.
Until that’s fixed, most users will be presented with the same posts every time they visit lemmy.world

Recommend subscribing to some communities local and federated, and then showing your subscriptions, so you’re not viewing only a local silo
gotta sort by new
There is a bug in the Lemmy backend causing hot and active ordering to give you stale posts in the frontpage. Switch to New and enjoy the A C T I V I T Y
Warning: the frontpage will update very fast
fast as fuck boi
Be the change you want to see in the world
How do you feel about posts about how people feel?
it’s feelings, all the way down
Or posts about posting more?
Hot and Active are currently broken, making the sites seem far less active than they actually are. Sorting by new is much more interesting. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I mean, it’s kinda in it’s first week of real content output so there’s obviously not gonna be a lot here yet
I’m subbed to a lot of communities & use Subscribed + New as my default sort.
What could help fighting the impression you have is subscribing to many communities that are interesting to you. Then turn your settings on “subscribed-new”. That should give you plenty of new content. If you need more, check “local-new” and if that also is not enough take “all-new”. This way you will have so much content that it will be like a waterfall and you are right under it.
While I agree this is the way, a platform like this shouldn’t have to come with a handbook for people to be able to enjoy it. I guess this is why many such platforms start by asking you what topics you’re interested in and such.
I personally find that I really don’t know what all I may take an interest in until I actually see it. I’m rather fond of “all.”
I don’t really have this issue. I went through every community yesterday and joined every one I wanted to. I have my feed set to subscribed and new so it’s always changing. I really suggest going through the community list.
You have to also remember there aren’t the same amount of people on lemmy that are on reddit. It’s going to take a minute for communities to grow and post more often.
Sounds like your feed settings are wacky. I use Local + New and I get new content all the time. You could even do All and you should for sure see new content. I don’t feel like your post is valid.
The issue is you are sorting by “Active”, this is the default setting in Timeline.
You need to change it to either “Hot” or “New”. I personally feel “Hot” is the better option.
Hot is broken right now for large instances. Top of the day or New it is for me.
