Hi! I’m British, I like music (grime, garage, hip-hop, R&B, and more!). I like art, culture, history, politics, & doomscrolling memes.

Also a touch of programming :)

  • I find Lemmy isn’t super at pushing newer content at the top, and you have to just mix between the different sorts. The content is definitely there. The alternative way to mitigate this is as follows:

    • In my settings I have “show read posts” unticked. This ensues posts I interact with (e.g click on, vote on) with disappear from my feed afterwards (upon refresh/reload, of course). I don’t think it clears posts that have appeared in your feed but you haven’t interacted with. This is extremely effective in keeping your feed fresh.
    • When browsing on my phone (Boost For Lemmy), I make frequent use of its “hide all read” button to quickly gut anything on my feed that I’ve seen before (no interaction needed).
    • You can, of course, just manually hide posts as you go but uh, the above methods are better at automating that process for you.

    I used to get really annoyed with stale feeds but upon doing the above it’s pretty much always fresh content.

    That said, it won’t hurt to subscribe to more communities!

    You’re going to need to give more information than this zero context screenshot. Is this a virus scanner? If so, which? Why are you scanning? What caused this series of events? What’s the full content of this popup?

    Absolute worse case scenario: whatever you’re doing will not irreparably damage your PC. If you break windows or whatever you can just wipe your pc and reinstall windows via a usb stick. However, it’s not clear what’s going on here.
