I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.

    Yeah that’s something I’m noticing a lot too. It feels like, at the moment, a lot of the communities are communities in name only. People upvote posts when they see them but there’s not much discussion happening.

    Which is something that will improve with time, obviously.

    I could go into all those common threads and start making comments but I feel like it would just be inorganic.

      One thing that I try to do is find other comments and respond to them. A lot of times it’s easier to respond to another comment than to make a top level comment in the post, imo. And it opens up the door to a discussion, which is the whole purpose of this platform
