Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.
No matter what I do I don’t see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.
This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don’t even know how this works across federated instances.
Does anyone know:
-
How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
-
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
-
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?
Should be the same across any instance.
