I am still quite new to Lemmy, but think I understood the basics. I noticed something strange though. I first created an account at a different instance, where I subscribed to a number of feeds. As that instance was temporarily overloaded one day I created a new account here, and subscribed to the same feeds. Now that the other instance is working normally again I decided to compare the two accounts in order to decide where to stay for good and I noticed that with the same settings, (Show all subscribed feeds ordered by Hot for example), it looks very different. The feed on the other account shows more current posts than the one here. If federation is working, shouldn‘t both accounts show me a more or less identical feed?

    I’m also having a problem with my feed in this instance, I can basically choose from “Active” and “Hot” which are 2-3 day old posts, all of which I’ve seen 100 times already, or “New” which are brand spanking new and have no comments yet, thus no discussion, and discussion is my jam!

    I keep seeing people complaining about their feeds refreshing too quickly, meanwhile I’m dying for my feeds to refresh AT ALL.

    I too experience this bug. The top three posts on hot are 2 days old for me. I have read previpusly that there is a Lemmy bug related to sorting. I have been just sorting by top or new to fix this. Another possible option is to hide read posts on your settings, but I haven’t tried that.
