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?

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

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.
