I would also like a sort that favours posts on subbed communities, while still browsing ‘everything’
Comment on Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?

Here’s some things Lemmy could potentially implement:
- a default sort that favors smaller communities
- better onboarding for users that guides them into discovering new communities
- giving recommendations to other similar communities
With that being said, I don’t think the current Lemmy devs would prioritize any of these.

Someone should make an issue on that in the github!

They are already working on that, not sure if it’s in the 1.19 release that is coming soon or not - but it is being worked on

I think there’s an update with that but I’m not entirely sure.

The sorting algorithm changes are what I’ve been waiting for forever. A bit disappointed it’s taking so long. I basically never see many communities I’m subbed to. I miss having a local city community. It has me constantly thinking of just dealing with Reddit’s bullshit, cause if it’s not big news or memes, Lemmy ain’t cutting.

On that last point, are those communities fairly active? I’ve noticed similar but when I check the communities I’m subscribed to, it turns out it’s largely because they’re less active than those communities I’m seeing more posts from.
Even more apparent when I switch to viewing only my subscribed communities feed.
