I feel like posts need to age quicker (lemmy.world)

Maybe this is unpopular but I'm getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

It seems like a lot of people complain about not seeing content but then don't contribute any content themselves. Like, posts are old because there's little new content, so maybe everyone can help contribute to communities. Content doesn't miraculously appear.

There's plenty of new content if you sort by new. This isn't a content issue; it's a bug. But go off I guess.

This. Almost all posts or comments are about "there is no new posts". The fediverse must grown before one can view different posts in any lemmy instance. We need to create content, share our thoughts, pics, a link to some news or articles, or just ask a question.

Like, posts are old because there’s little new content

Yeah, but you could be underestimating the effect of the Active sorting bumping old posts, which leads to a few posts threads rising over and over. Perhaps there's more eagerness to make new threads than you can see, because most of those new threads don't spark the fire of discussion and get quickly buried.

Active sorting is more like 4chan, Hot sorting is like Reddit or HN.
