When the original content is from is less important than when it's posted here. Lemmys sorting algorithm isn't very smart. When all of the posts are made in a batch it shows them all together. I don't want to see pages of 90% one community.

Once a day the top post from reddit? Great, I'm cool with that. 30 random ass posts from 2 days worth of reddit all within 20 minutes? Annoying as shit, awful. Don't do that.

@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com let's agree to disagree. If I sub to something I want to see new content every time I refresh lemmy, right now feeds are completely static it seems.

upvotes on this posted content is overwhelmingly positive. Hundreds of upvotes

That's the problem, lemmy's algorithms aren't smart enough to do that. Posts made around the same time tend to show up around each other. Particularly with scaled sorting, hot is a little better, but shows older content. As long as the posts are spaced out per community I don't think people will find it annoying. But like I said I had 1.5 pages full of just programmer humor posts. Back to back to back. And if I refreshed it didn't change, because lemmys algorithms are static.
