Screenshot of posts on lemmy.world

I’ve noticed that there is quite a difference between the posts that are displaying on sh.itjust.works vs lemmy.world. It was like this last night and I woke up this morning and its still the same. I read around and lots of people a couple years back solved this with selecting undetermined and english in their language settings but mine is already set up like that. Both are sorting the same was using “Active.” I don’t have anything blocked as far as I know. I can’t find any recent discussions about this so I was wondering if this is an issue on my end or something else?

    Assuming the same communities are being followed and no users are blocked and all else is equal, one possible explanation is that lemmy.world is using Lemmy 0.19.3, and sh.itjust.works is on Lemmy 0.19.5. Something might have changed in how posts are sorted between the two versions.

    One might expect these two instances to be pretty similar, as they both have a bunch of users and are pretty much catch-all. But in general, different instances of Lemmy will display different content by design - the users decide the direction of the instance by following communities they are interested in.
