I was just scrolling through my feed. This whole Firefox Chrome instanced post I have seen literally 15 times. Most of my feed is nothing but that post.
I understand trying to get Lemmy popular. And I understand distributing knowledge of this.
Sorry if I sound like I’m complaining. I want to like Lemmy. But I’m struggling. And I can’t do reddit.
Maybe I need to figure out a different algorithm like more threads to follow?
Maybe I’m part of too many technology threads. :)
If that’s what’s happening then maybe the algorithm should weight scores towards the newer posts, so that a post’s rank in the algorithm decreases as it ages.
Yea I don’t all the details so I can’t answer that intelligently. But it stands to reason that the root problem of having a score calculating process that can get behind is worth solving one way or the other. Especially, provided what I read is true, if it can be made much faster such that you really won’t need to worry about that problem again.
