If I subscribe 2 or 3 large coms, all the more quiet coms that I want to hear from get wiped out from the first pages of the feed...is there a way to recover them, by having like an upvote (increase weight by +1) subscribe button in an already subscribed com (upsubscribe, lol)...or maybe a multi? What do you use in these cases?

Sort feed by ‘scaled’

Didn’t know this was a thing. Thanks!

Cool, that helps bring the quiet ones out a bit.

Thanks! How does it work? Can I influence it?

You can't influence it https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

You can not influence it. Here's a link with more info.

Lemmy uses the same Rank algorithm above, in three sorts: Active, Hot, and Scaled.

Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).

Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.

Scaled is similar to Hot, but gives a boost to smaller / less active communities.

Didn't think I had that on a PC browser! For everyone missing it like I did, it's under your main settings.
