I only see a handful of communities posts, but miss a lot from smaller communities that aren’t as active but do get daily posts. Reddit blended in smaller communities really well and it’s something I’m struggling with here.
Have you tried playing with different sort types?
That’s because there is no sorting algo based on… well anything. Tracking your interests and how much time you’ve spent on a comm as well.
If you choose popular/active, it gives you the most active posts, if you choose new, you get the newest ones. It doesn’t prioritize in any way. The idea is NOT to track what users do.
Though I miss comm/sub tracking as well, it gave good suggestions and kept the feed filled with interesting posts.
It could probably be implemented client wise (in app), but this thing barely works as it is now (so do the apps), so that will take time.
You don’t need user tracking to try to show smaller communities in between larger ones, you just need some sorting method that incorporates that. Hot is already scored with some algorithm, that algorithm could take into account size as well, or just a new sort with that.
