Top 12 hours. There’s just enough going on that it’s new for me.
All top 12 hours & suscribed/local new
Subscribed/New most of the time, but I check All/Active every once in a while to see if there’s any drama going on.
Sometimes I’ll hit All/Scaled when I’m really desperate.
im not sure how it translates to base lemmy as I am using tesseract, but Subscribed / scaled is the endpoint it uses which I believe just means subscribed communities only sorted by scoring(hot?)? I’m not entirely sure how it works I just know that it works good for me.
New - simple chronological order is unambiguous
New, so I don’t just see the same stuff as yesterday. I leave comments on hot, but I usually read though them all anyway.
Top -> 6 hours
All top 6 hrs. I usually browse Lemmy twice a day and it tends to let me see most everything.
Some days I do too much Lemmy scrolling, so i keep it at top 12h so i am less likely to hit the bottom.
The bottom is kind of fun though, it gets weird.
Same. All, either Top 6 or Top 12, with the occasional Top 24 (Today) if I’ve been busy and feel I need to catch up.
i cycle between this and new comments, good mix of heavy hitters and diverse diaspora
Same! However I’m starting to find there is now a lot more content and I could actually start using joined communities instead of /all
New | All
A great way to find new and interesting content only if you’ve got a good block list set up.
Also a good way to start building or expanding the aforementioned block list
What do you mean block list? Why block who? I haven’t blocked anyone. If someone is a dick I either be a dick back and or ignore them, works for me.
Or are you blocking types of posts? Because there is a lot of dumb like naked pictures bot posted from reddit, if I want porn I’ve better places to find it, and don’t have to worry about accidently clicking on a picture I don’t want to see so much.
Block lists meaning communities, instances and filter words.
This is the best way to see what’s there. Then, get a block list started.
i like the new comment sort since it’s like a hybrid of new and active. yes, 0 comment posts will show up there.
New comment gives me too many really old posts, like 3 to 7 days old, and there aren’t all that many new comments on them, if you get the posts in the first 6 hours or so you are more likely to get more engagement, which is often the idea unless you are fishing for interesting articles.
i appreciate the old ones! it’s interesting to see why someone would revive an old post, and there are some (usually active community drama) that can keep going for days and wouldn’t show up anywhere else.
it occurs to me this most closely mimics old web forum sorts.
What kind of people set their default feed sort to old 😭
If you want to see everything and also arrive at a thread already populated with good juicy comments.
It would be the same every day though.
Not defending sorting by old bc that’s crazy, but there is an option to automatically hide posts you vote on or open to read, so you wouldn’t necessarily be looking at the same thing. You would however be reading months or years old posts and comments and it’d be a little strange to try and respond to anything.
Not if you hide read posts.
You’d have to read every post.
Hot, then new
Sounds like it might be a good dating strategy too.
then new.
Dating strategy
This one right here FBI…
Oh… Right… the FBI doesn’t care about that stuff anymore.
Scaled | Subscribed
I find this effectively acts as “new” for small communities, and “hot” for big ones.
Agreed, I really prefer it for that as well
First commenters are always “new”😆
Home by new. All by top 6h
