All top 6 hrs. I usually browse Lemmy twice a day and it tends to let me see most everything.
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
Usually top for a certain period of time like six or twelve hours.
What kind of people set their default feed sort to old 😭
usually hot, than in a thread old then new.
Top 6 hours
Top -> 6 hours
Subscribed and scaled sorting.
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.
I am only subscribed to Garfield so my subscribed button pulls up Garfield comic posts.
I’m always looking for hotties, so old and active
New, Subscribed
New: There’s a limited enough amount of content presently being submitted in the areas that I’m interested in that I don’t feel the need to try to use votes to filter out things. It’s not impossible that I’d move to something that accounts for votes in the long run, but it’s not enough of a torrent yet.
Subscribed: I don’t believe that trying to view All and then blacklisting everything that you don’t want scales well. People can add communities all the time, and inevitably — there’s a huge amount of stuff out there — a lot of it isn’t stuff that I’m going to be interested in. It’s like trying to blacklist the Internet — means a constant game of whack-a-mole. Also, “All” will only see communities that are either local to your home instance or where another user on your home instance has already subscribed to things, so especially on smaller instances, you may never see something that you’re interested in that someone does create. I follow !newcommunities@lemmy.world, !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and hit https://lemmyverse.net/communities occasionally to find new communities of interest.
New, on my subscribed communities
Local feed sorted by New
Home by new. All by top 6h.
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.
