How come community don’t want me man 😭
… you know why. -_-
Dude we aren’t supposed to mention we know why
Rather than “Trending” they seem to be newly created communities
They probably use a simple posts-over-time equation to gauge popularity, so a 5-second-old community with 1 post technically has a rate of 12 posts a minute. Very popular.
Most of the ones I see have no posts at all and are still “trending”
that would make sense, true
guess that part needs to be rewritten then
Yep, that’s what I get from it too.
you’re not wrong… but because its completely dead… Its up to end users to use it more. Users should start commenting more than you did when you were on reddit.
But what would I comment about?
You can always try my mom.
Hi, how’s your mom?
Nah
but i thought 90% of reddit comments are by bots
Removed by mod
Yeah, it seems to show the ones that were just created as “trending”
too popular for me
Experiencing the other side of this having just built a new instance. As the communities get closer to 50 subscribers, all I can think is “post, post, post”
What I don’t get is when the community has like 2,000 members but 0 posts. How is it trending?!?
maybe look at it in the original instance? it could be that your instance hasn’t federated with it yet or the community’s instance is gone
Makes you want to slap someone, doesn’t it?
So post in it! Be the change you want to see!
You should post this in liminalspace

Just as enjoyable as 2 Year old threads showing up right in the middle of my hot & fresh feed.
This is the one that gets me. If I’m doom scrolling a community and accidentally comment on a 3yr old post, it shouldn’t get catapulted into hot. Hot should be filtering out anything older than 2 days
Ah, the YouTube experience. Jeez, you guys are still talking about this? Wait, no, no you’re not.
Reddit was getting pretty bad about surfacing ancient threads there, for a while. I thought they were back on their bullshit about Gamestop but no, three year old thread.
When you say bullshit about GameStop, are you talking about the memestock thing? Because they never really stopped
Yeah they’ve been riding that high for ages.
I had a friend lose so much money on gamestop he had to get a job as a solar salesman.
Considering I’ve enjoyed some of the “old” videos the algorithm sometimes sends my way, I’m not always disappointed when I find one I hadn’t seen before.
Same thing when the “hot” feed shows dozens of threads with zero comments. Idk what hot means in this context, evidently.
Hot sorting normally has some weight put towards new posts so they show up occasionally. I think on lemmy right now the weight of new posts is just way too high.
I tend to stick to top in time period, and use hot as a smarter version of sort by new.
