I am trying both Mlem and Wefwef at the moment, and even though I select the “subscribed” options for my main feed, the posts I see are different. It seems like WefWef shows me top posts from the day before and Mlem is more current? But I still haven’t figured it out.

    I’m using different apps, it’s probably your sort. I see the same posts in the same order browsing all/hot and all/active

      This is the reason….I didn’t know there was a difference between Active and Hot but there is. Still getting used to differences from Reddit! Thank you.

        Yeah it’s been weird. Hot on lemmy seems to weigh more heavily towards newer posts than we’re used to from reddit. I regularly see posts that are less than 5 mins old with like 1 or 2 upvotes, back to back with ones that are a few hours old with much more engagement.

        And then active seems to be a bit slower overall, with posts shifting gradually over the course of a few days. There’s several options I haven’t played with either, still figuring stuff out myself
