Why is the feed algorithm so horrendously bad on Lemmy? I keep seeing the same posts I had previously seen/interacted with, even if I refresh the feed. Is it because this platform has not enough users?

I don’t know if it’s exclusive to some clients, but on Mlem at least you can choose to hide/ show read posts. It works pretty well and prevents reading 5x the same thing.
It would be nice if the clients could group cross-posts or posts with the same URL, so that you don’t see duplicate content in the feed. Like right now with the posts regarding changes with Discord, there are 3 posts in the top 20 of my Hot feed, two of which that are cross-posted and another with the same press release URL. Everytime I cross post, I feel bad for people who follow both communities since i know i’m cluttering up their feed, so I do so sparingly, but there are other users who seem to be cross post happy.
PieFed can do this
Maybe you can reach out to your instance’s developers and ask them if it’s possible to implement this? Personally I haven’t had any issues with it
Edit:
Well I spoke too soon. But I believe it wasn’t even a cross post, the original poster just copied and pasted
