When I sort by hot in my subscribed feed it becomes flooded with posts from the worldnews community, posts that are multiple days old or even with negative scores, even though I'm subscribed to many other communities and when visiting those communities can find posts that are newer, and have more engagement than the ones I'm seeing from worldnews. And when I say flooded I mean I will have 5-6 posts in a row, followed by 1 post from another community, and then another 5-6 worldnews posts. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there anything I can do other than just unsubscribing from worldnews?

I’m experiencing the same thing for sure — at first it was the beehaw News sub; I unsubbed from that, and now it’s just a different one.

To be fair, generating a good algorithm that balances novelty, interests, and comfortable/expected usuals can be really difficult … but I do think Lemmy’s is currently fairly poorly tuned. /=
