How do you browse Lemmy?

The "active" setting really fucks up the order.

Like you are reading a couple of posts, and when you go to the next page, you see the same posts because so many comments are made which put those posts at the top again.

Really want something like "hot for the last 24h" and then ordered by amount of comments in the last 24h.

The issue is that the sorting options are taken literally down to the algorithmic level. They really need to be tweaked to fit better with user expectations
Just use a frontend with infinite scroll

Subscribed New

I do this, and when it runs out i go to All new and regret it immediately.
- When it runs out, I switch to Local New.
probably should do that
This.
Subscribed top 6 hrs

Top 12hr, then top 6hr, then top 1hr as the day progresses.

New because I have my own instance and it’s empty as hell

Does that mean you’re not impacted by any defederations and can subscribe to whatever you want?

New Comments.

Bump btw

Local New. Going to All or Subscribed is an epic trek to a foreign land to bring home luxurious news and spicy memes.

Top 12 hours

"New"

"New" is Guts' sword slicing the table in half

I'm using that as default right fucking now. Thanks.

All, top 6 hours, Blocklist full

Any new communities I see I sub to, but rarely use my subbed feed as it's still pretty dry.

I don't have much to contribute.

Active is my preferred sort method. It keeps the active discussions at the top, hot I’ll switch to occasionally after I’ve browsed enough of the active feed.

Must of my subscribed communities are small enough that I don’t think top 6 hours is distinct enough from active/hot

I start with my subscribed top 6 hour, then move to all, and often go to top 1 hour or new because I open Lemmy more than once every 6 hours. Occasionally I'll head over to active, that's mostly when I want to read lots of comments

Default Hot and then switch to 6 hr if nothing is hitting

All. New. Sometimes I think I enjoy torturing myself.

Subscribed top 6 hours

    
1st. Subscribed - New Comments
2nd. All - New Comments
3rd. All - New (desperate for new and interesting at this point)
4th. Inbox
5th. Find people who are wrong on the Internet (on Lemmy) and tell them why they are wrong

5 wouldn't have to happen if there was more good stuff to read, folks. :)
