I really like this design. Well done!

Looking at it on my desktop right now, I’m seeing everything I’d expect, for both local and federated communities. Most typically lately, I’m browsing on my phone, but that’s just hitting my instance directly via mobile Firefox, not using an app, so I can’t imagine that would have meaningfully different results.

Sounds most likely that this is just a perceptual thing where I’m not consciously realizing that communities Y and Z are posting way more frequently than community X, making me feel like I’m “missing” posts from X that are then trivially found when I go to X directly.

I’ll keep an eye out for this a bit more consciously for the next little while and see if that’s what’s actually going on.

I’m sorting by New. My expectation was a linear chronological feed of posts across all subscribed instances. And yeah, I’m still missing some posts in that view.

Yeah, this is me. Coming up on two decades in game dev, and I’ve always cared way more about building things that are genuinely robust and also make sense to humans, but everyone just wants “fast and cheap”, thinks documentation is a waste of time (“you can just talk to people”), doesn’t understand “tech debt” as a concept at all, and refuses to prioritize tools work because “it’s not player-facing”.

All software is rushed software.

Linux has entered the chat.

I recently switched to sorting by New, which sounds insane coming from Reddit, but Lemmy is much smaller right now, and New is actually viable and interesting.

I’m sure with more growth that will change, but it’s definitely kept my feed fresher and more interesting than either Active or Hot.

(This does of course assume that you’re subscribed to a reasonable number of communities you’re interested in.)
