The problem is currently that by default it shows active posts, and its been the same posts for days now. What options do you use for sorting when doomscrolling to see interesting content?

top 7 comments
sorted by: hot top controversial new old

Active seems to show the posts that people are commenting on, whereas Hot seems to be better for showing newer content.

I’ve been primarily sorting by new. While on other sites I don’t like sorting by new because you’ll see 90% low-quality posts, Lemmy is small and passionate enough that nearly all posts will be good quality.

Having the same problem, but I think I read somewhere they are working on fixing it?

Because it keeps resetting to Active and Local after a while, so I also keep seeing the same posts.

There's also an option in your profile options that changes your default sort

At least for me, that option doesn't seem to work most of the time.
