Evidently lemmy will have to improve its algorithm some more down the line (easy to say, harder to do lol). It’s still miles ahead of Reddit’s, because here posts can come back up on the front page even if they’re old as long as they’re still active. On Reddit you have a very limited time window to get your post picked up after you post or it dies.

But hey, it’s still in development and lemmy doesn’t have the years of operation reddit does.

I’m interested in this community because I dropped Reddit entirely and I learned a ton of cool news about China with you posting here. However, it’s true that it was monopolising the front page because of how the algorithm works, and other posts may have had trouble getting seen. At the risk of sounding centrist, can I suggest a compromise to you directly? I don’t think everything that gets posted on r/sino needs to be posted here, but that you can exercise some editorial liberty and pick the most interesting posts to crosspost here.
