I sort by New (rather than Hot for instance), myself.
Just randomly curious what other people are sorting at default, and if there’s a common answer.
Kinda wish I could automagically sort comments by New as well. /shrug
Mostly Hot/Subscribed, but from time to time I switch to Top Week/All.
Subscribed/Scaled most of the time, which gives me a nice selection of things I’m interested in, with a boost for posts from smaller communities so they don’t get drowned out by larger ones.
All/Hot when I want to check in and see what the rest of the fediverse is up to.
Subscribed/New
All/Hot or Top 6 Hours
New Local, then New All after I run out of content on local.
Top 6 hours gives insight into active threads and allows me to browse twice a day with no repeats.
Subscribed/scaled normally.
I’m not on Lemmy, but I have the “Active” sort set as my default.
I have very slow days at work most days, so I keep my sort on all/new to have new shit to look at during the day. Hot only really sees new content like 3 or 4 times a day.
Hot. Then somwtimes top of 6hours and if I feel like I start running out I go to new.
All/Top 6 hours.
I run subscribed on Hot, mainly because that is or was the Mlem default. But sometimes I go to Top for the past 24 hours and it gives a different impression, and I’m still surprised by what posts I hadn’t seen with a huge amount of activity
Top 6 hours
I have it set to New for my subscribed communities. That’s how I do it, at least.
All/Hot when I haven’t been on for a while, All/New most of the time
