I keep seeing the same things in my feed (lemmy.ml)

On another popular site I can refresh my feed and it's instantly all new things to explore. But here on Lemmy when I refresh, I get either the same top posts (with little new activity) or I see them just down a bit.

I've chosen subs that are active, and a mix of subscribed and local subs.

What settings are best to have a similar experience where if you refresh your feed you see new things to subs you're interested in? Even choosing 'new' its like.. there's no new activity when I refresh.

Thank you in advance

No Fediverse platform I know of uses algorithms like the ones in today's mainstream social media, so you'll have to get used to seeing the same thing every hour or so. Try subscribing to even more communities, changing sorting algorithms or browsing the "All" feed.

I occassionally find and remove communities through the "All" feed or random "recommend me communities" posts in communities such as:

Try creating a post in one of them.

If you want to help build a new community, try finding new ones. Creators of new comms usually post them in comms such as:

I do wish that there was a "Random + New/Scaled/Hot" sort.

if you want to browse All, I would suggest not being shy about blocking communities
