Why do I see different posts depending on which app I use?

I've Installed all the available apps to test out and it seems like everyone shows me a completely different set of posts to the others!

My guess is that different apps get their default front page from different instances. I think Jerboa gets it from lemmy.ml and Liftoff gets it from lemmy.world

Pointing to the same instance with same filtering/sorting options?

If you’re signed in and still notice a difference, it might be the difference in the default sort option for that app (Hot, Top last day, Top last week, etc). Most apps I’ve tried allow you to change it.
