    Imho the big challenge is just lack of throughput. I follow many communities, and it’s still not at the point where my front-page is consistently new content every day.

    Feed the beast. Until then, quit whining about how repetitive the content is - there just isn’t enough of it yet.

      Couldn’t we just scrape reddit with some bots and VPN and have the content populate Lemmy?

      I mean this is exactly how some other platforms started out in the past.

        Already some communities have bots doing that. It’s shitty. If you want Reddit content just go on reddit.

      I see this comment often but when I view by Hot there is enough for my reading needs

        I do that occasionally but since the stale “Active” is the default it’s easy to forget.

        Ooh, I just found you can change the default!

        edit: isn’t this kind of a “you’re holding it wrong” problem? I mean, the default behaviour on Lemmy is awful, not just for this but also since iirc it didn’t default to showing my subscribed communities at the start either.
