On Lemmy I mainly used scaled in the subscription list and enjoyed that quite a bit. In Piefed it quickly shows me posts from many months ago and just seems useless. Is there something I can do to 'tune' this or does it work differently than lemmy?

You are subscribed to some communities which only have a very very low number of subscribers, so their posts get boosted to the moon, despite being old.

If it doesn't settle down in a day or two, consider unsubscribing from /c/fujifilm and /c/surfing

Looks like the scaled algo needs to be tamed a bit, to avoid those outliers.

Thanks for the info and tips! I'll see how it fares over the next few days.
