Lemmy: What am I doing wrong or is it not me?

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_will_eat_that,

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

Wrincewind,

It’s a known bug; you can work around it by navigating to page 2, then changing the 2 to a 0 in the url. Page 0 is basically page 1 but without the clearly-broken auto-update feature.

I_will_eat_that,

Sweet, thank you!

squawkduck,

@bennysp my experience is that kbin has more new Lemmy posts (under all and new) than Lemmy has (also under all and new).

Anyone have any theories on this? Is kbin operating with faster servers, bandwidth and etc? I am sure the code is growing/learning on how to optimize too, but I am curious. I do plan to review issues to watch/track/contribute here:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues
https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues

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.

snailwizard,

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
