Me too. Has more of a small town feel. Usually, because I’m in Australia, my comments are buried and never get replied to because the US is sleeping. Here, people are actually engaging. Loving it so far.
Wish the sorting worked a little better in wefwef so I’m not scrolling past the same posts each time, but otherwise feels like the reddit I joined 16 years ago (or slightly thereafter when comments were added)
I was wondering about this on WefWef. Is scrolling by the same posts a few times a sorting problem or a “there hasn’t been any new posts yet” problem?
Most of the reddit apps I've tried have a "hide seen" function that I feel like wefwef could really benefit from
I saw that function posted elsewhere, but I assume it’s from a desktop interface because I can’t see it in the app
I use the filter options, especially Top Day, to get newer content. Also make sure it's not set to just local content too.
Desktop or mobile browser, yes. In your account settings there's an option to "Show read posts". Uncheck it and you shouldn't see posts you've voted on on your front page anymore.
I'm pretty sure it's related to how the default sorting algorithm works, the default sort typically being Active. If the description in the docs is still accurate, I think maybe there's something a little off in the decay time*, making it so posts linger, people keep commenting & conversing in comments, which keeps posts propped up, until finally at some point activity subsides enough for it to allow other posts to show up.
*-(possibly taking too long to take effect or not being weighted heavily enough?)
