I have subscribed to a bunch of communities, some more active than other. It seems the front page, with all subscribed community appears qorted by active/hot, only show a few of the most active communities, making other less active ones not appear here, even yhought there are content posted. (mostly visible with !news@beehaw.org and !technology@beehaw.org).

I there a way to somehow reduce the ranking of these communities so more niche content have more chance to appear in the front page?

Thanks.

    I sort by NEW. If the niche communities have posts they will show up.

      I indeed find said NEW algorithm to be more diverse, thought I prefer the hot view (or at least I would if it were more diverse).

    No feature yet to rank communities or do community groups, probably a feature request exists for that already. Though the sort options seem to be broken on the front page, hopefully fixed on the next update. Once those work right that should help, will for me at least.

    There are some bug reports around the Hot view not refreshing; this should hopefully be fixed once 0.18 is released and installed on your instance.

    For now, I’d recommend using a different sort view; “New” is good if you want to see really fresh stuff and be a first contributor to discussion, and “Top Day” is good to see posts with more discussion. (also, there’s a web UI bug where a lot of posts get added all at once whenever anyone on your instance subscribes to a new community; I refresh the page whenever that happens.)
