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.
omg the absolute ~v i b e s~ on that thing 🤩
I've been out of the loop for the last ~5 weeks. What's PV?
Could kill off desktop PCs
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.)
Ah yeah, this makes sense.
I have seen other services include an explicit SSO link under the user/pass form, which IMO is clearer what's actually going on, but I'm sure that structure hopelessly confuses lots of less technical users, too.
Yeah, I see this one happen occasionally, and it makes me marginally less grouchy.
I'm also finding it really effective. I only hate that backing out from a post is a crapshoot on whether it preserves my scroll position, resets to the top, or reloads the entire feed.
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.
