I subscribe to some, low volume, Lemmy communities (i.e. FreeBSD, Postgersql) and sometimes the posts won't show on the first, or even second, page if I sort by day.

Is there a way to see just something like

subscribed community | posts (today|week)

So I can keep an eye on those low traffic groups

That's what the scaled sort is supposed to solve. It pushes up posts that are popular relative to other posts in their communities. So even if they regularly get 0 upvotes they should still show up.

I use the scaled sort on subscribed together with hiding read posts and marking posts as read when I scroll by. That way I usually see the posts made in smaller communities fairly regularly.
