When I came home and browsed ALL, it was exactly same posts as there was this morning. That’s a problem for getting return visits.
Yes, that’s a problem. What you can do to help yourself:
uncheck “Show Read Posts” in your settings
switch between feed algorithms (‘New Comments’, ‘Active’, ‘Hot’, ‘Top Hour’)
subscribe to more communities
unsubscribe from big communities if they dominate your feed
Most of these actions have drawbacks.
The biggest issue here from my point of view is, that none of this works out of the box. It requires will and capability to tweak your Lemmy. More often than not, the solution might simply be to not return visit.
An actual solution might be something like: Assign a relevancy score to each post. Posts with higher relevancy are more likely to appear in your stream. When a post has been shown to you, it’s relevancy drops (at least for relative streams like ‘Active’ and ‘New Comments’. Absolute streams like ‘Top Hour’ might need a different treatment). When you visited a post, it’s relevancy drops a lot. This could help populate your stream with fresh content (of which there is no shortage!). When a user scrolls past a post one or even more times, they probably aren’t interested in seeing it, so the post should not be shown in the future.
