It looks like I’m being shown different posts on desktop vs. mobile (while being logged in on both accounts).
On desktop, the posts that I’m shown seem to be strongly weighted to high-karma ones, such that even even posts a month old are shown if they have high karma; on mobile, recent posts that haven’t accumulated much karma yet are also shown.
I strongly prefer the ones I’m shown on mobile. Is there a way to get the desktop ones to use the same algorithm?
If you are logged into the same account on both devices, then that’s a bug. We have logic to adjust the time-decay of karma depending on how frequently you visit, but that should be synced across your whole account, not be device-specific. Checking that you are logged into the same account on both devices?
Yeah, I don’t use multiple accounts on LW. Though now I just tried checking it with both accounts again and now they show the same contents again. Alas, they’re in sync in a way where the older posts get more visibility rather than letting me see the new posts. :D Though clicking on “load more” brings up older posts, so maybe I’ll just click that more. (And yeah I know there’s also the “all posts” page.)
