My disclaimer is that I am excited using the fediverse as alternative from Reddit (I have switched to Mastodon from Twitter).

I have been trying a combination of lemmy.world, kbin and a lemmy app like MemmyApp. Each one, I look at “All” and try various things like “hot”, “active”, “top day” and etc. Each one produces different results. And it is not even close. Rarely are there same posts across each. Also, on lemmy.world, after I sort on one of these, a few seconds go by and it won’t stop scrolling with a blast from same communities and users.

So… what is it I am doing wrong? How do I make my experience more enjoyable? Am I the only one?

(Note: I am aware that kbin/lemmy have their own local and therefore, that would be different, but the “All” filter?)

    I keep getting that “blast” of posts you describe, too. Glad it’s not just me. Probably just growing pains as others have said

    I think for now it’s working as intended. There is an unprecedented amount of new users, after all. I imagine that over time, probably by the end of the year, communication between instances will be much more seamless once bugs get squashed

    my limited understanding is that the federating of information between disparate instances is not real-time. it takes a while for things to filter through the fediverse

    Its definitely different, and it’s been crazy active the last few days. Have you subscribed to a healthy amount of communities? Then you can sort subscribed and at least know what your getting. I subbed to a ton.

    I have been sorting by all > top day, new, active/hot, depending what im doing. It’s become fairly predictable for me, but tbh, I am mostly here for the comments so, my needs may be different. I am finding it pretty intuitive actually.
