If I subscribe 2 or 3 large coms, all the more quiet coms that I want to hear from get wiped out from the first pages of the feed…is there a way to recover them, by having like an upvote (increase weight by +1) subscribe button in an already subscribed com (upsubscribe, lol)…or maybe a multi? What do you use in these cases?
Sort feed by ‘scaled’
Didn’t know this was a thing. Thanks!
Cool, that helps bring the quiet ones out a bit.
Thanks! How does it work? Can I influence it?
You can’t influence it https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
You can not influence it. Here’s a link with more info.
Lemmy uses the same Rank algorithm above, in three sorts: Active, Hot, and Scaled.
- Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
- Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.
- Scaled is similar to Hot, but gives a boost to smaller / less active communities.
Didn’t think I had that on a PC browser! For everyone missing it like I did, it’s under your main settings.
Others have already pointed out scaled (my default sort) but I have often thought I would like to see a full feed for my quieter comms. Without making a new only-quiet-comms account or modifying a Lemmy client the only way I’ve thought of is to subscribe to the RSS feeds (but that means using a different app and managing two sets of subscriptions).
All the communities are quiet here.
not relatively speaking.
US politics communities are pretty damn loud.
