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.
that would make sense, true
guess that part needs to be rewritten then
Just as enjoyable as 2 Year old threads showing up right in the middle of my hot & fresh feed.
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.
How come community don’t want me man 😭
… you know why. -_-
Dude we aren’t supposed to mention we know why
I haven’t dug into the docs so I’m not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I’ve noticed that old posts will never get pulled into my instance after I subscribe. So a sub can appear empty, but then I’ll click to go to its home instance and it’s full of posts. Lemmy only syncs new posts upon federation (but again, not sure if that’s intended/expected).
This is the biggest usability problem for me on Lemmy right now. I don’t want to hop between instances.
Is that a hecking moving meme here on lemmy?
Please don’t ever say “hecking” ever again. Leave that shit on reddit.
The trending community tab literally just lists new communities that were created.
Keep my furniture out your fucking house
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.
Skull emoji times seven
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?
but i thought 90% of reddit comments are by bots
Nah
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
So post in it! Be the change you want to see!
Yeah, it seems to show the ones that were just created as “trending”
If lemmy is so rich why can’t we afford to put a roof on the house
too popular for me
