Listing activity for Lemmy communities (discuss.online)

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

If you go to the community and sort by new you’ll see new posts?

If I went to each individual community this would not be an issue, but that is far less friendly..

This is what I have been doing: I go to the instance I use, discuss.online, and sort by day. That shows me threads with most votes for the day (or however many hours I chose) the issue is that on a busy day, or as the number of subscriptions grow, less active groups get pushed further down in the pages.

Oh so when you said:

subscribed community | posts (today|week)

You weren't asking for a way to see posts for a particular subscribed community, you wanted a list of communities with the number of new posts in each?

I'm not aware of a way to do that, no. But I wonder if the communities list page might help you find them? If you go to the communities page and sort by Scaled, like this:

https://discuss.online/communities?listingType=Local&sort=Scaled&page=1

Then small communities with recent activity should show at the top?

Yes, Scaled seems to be what I need.
