I think the main feed is a bit of a mess. They really need to get the algorithm for hot and active fixed so it feels more like the Reddit front page.

I agree. "Active" and "Hot" display the same threads for days. "New" is essentially just a flood of 2 or 3 popular communities.
I wish there was an "Active but hide all the posts you already looked at today" option
I really miss Boost's clear read posts feature.

The tricky part is defining an algo for hot, it’s a bit different than reddit since some instances may have many people, and local may have fewer, so there should be a balance such that posts from larger instances don’t overwhelm local instances perhaps.
I don't disagree it's tricky. But it's necessary if Lemmy will ever be a Reddit replacement.
Oh absolutely! Looking to get it running locally so I can start building something out and trialing something. Trial and error iteration would work well here I think
I'm on jerboa for android and this doesn't seem to be an issue for me here.
It's a huge problem on desktop. Jerboa doesn't have the issue.
Jerboa, on the other hand, can't sort inside comments, can it? That has been a nuisance as well.
I commented the same and was told that this is already being worked on and will be disabled soon.
I'm new. is there a way to make links to other instances be links on my instance to the federated post?
Glad I'm not the only one. It's getting pretty annoying
No but its weird. Not sure how this got past testing.
Yeah, I was hoping someone made a Tampermonkey script or something as a band aid until this is fixed.
+1. It's extremely annoying. I have been clicking on and upvoting wrong posts all over the place.
