Why is the feed algorithm so horrendously bad on Lemmy? I keep seeing the same posts I had previously seen/interacted with, even if I refresh the feed. Is it because this platform has not enough users?

    I don’t know if it’s exclusive to some clients, but on Mlem at least you can choose to hide/ show read posts. It works pretty well and prevents reading 5x the same thing.

      It would be nice if the clients could group cross-posts or posts with the same URL, so that you don’t see duplicate content in the feed. Like right now with the posts regarding changes with Discord, there are 3 posts in the top 20 of my Hot feed, two of which that are cross-posted and another with the same press release URL. Everytime I cross post, I feel bad for people who follow both communities since i know i’m cluttering up their feed, so I do so sparingly, but there are other users who seem to be cross post happy.
