friendica (DFRN) - Link to source

Hello All!

I'm mainly enjoying my time on calckey.world, but I've been exploring a few Fediverse offerings - inspired by @Elena Rossini on Sharkey

I just wanted to share a quick observation here.

First, for whatever reason, Friendica does not handle the "Latest Activity" Channel very well. When I try to use that "filter", the page doesn't load or takes a very long time. Even if the page loads properly, the feed does not refresh as per settings.

For now, I've simply removed that Channel to avoid the issue. I'm fairly new and couldn't figure out the difference between latest post vs latest activity anyway.

Second, another issue is when I try to load the "Groups" Circle, the page does load slowly. I only have 5 lemmy groups there to test things out. I'm guessing something isn't playing well there.

@rushSteady From my experience, "Latest activity" shows the posts with the biggest amount of activity (i.e. likes, comments etc.) - this means that if an older post gets more likes, comments etc. than a newer one, that one is boosted to the top. If you use Reddit, it's similar to how the "Hot" page works. I generally go to "Latest posts" to have my feed display in chronological order, strictly according to post age.
