Hot seems meh. I usually go for Top: Day but then I run out. Recently tried most active by comments and liked it.
How y’all sorting your feeds?
I’ve been trying New for about a week. In hopes to upvote things from communities I like to improve engagement.
I literally just started doing that.
Trying to be active in communities and filtering out communities and domains I don’t want. That way it’s sort of a reverse curated list. Not communities I selected to view, but everything except the ones I don’t want to view.
I like that. Thank you for your contribution!
We are all knights of the new.
The Hot sort seems to show new and sligly older content, with an enphasis on new. So I just sort by hot, as the algorithm is pretty good for that.
And mostly on subscribed. All being mostly to discover other things.

@Tibert the fediverse is still small enough that sorting by new all is a good way to discover communities.
Though, that might only work for me because I block the biggest meme communities with this account.
I usually sort by new so someone will actually read and/or respond to my comments lol
All: Top Six Hours
New. Always new. Top is all memes I don’t understand. (Totally not hipster lol.)
When I first started Lemmy the general consensus was top 6-hour, so I start with that. When that gets boring I switch to New.
Local New to begin with. After that All New
Dumb question. Is local by server (I’m on lemmy.world) or by location (country).
Server. Since my server is Danish my local feed is Danish, which is nice
Only posts originating from your instance.
So only posts made by people from lemmy.world.
When you post something, the post is on lemmy.world.
For example, this is your post https://lemmy.world/post/7469149 . If you would post to another community, it would still be lemmy.world/post/xxx even if the community isn’t on lemmy.world. But the post is attached to that community.
All is all the post from all the communities the accounts in your instance are subscribed to.
I used to do top 12 hours but I only see the biggest communities that way so now I’m on hot
Scaled sort can’t come soon enough
I go by New I like to see what’s going on as it’s going on 😁
After going through Subscribed - new, I switch it to all new.
Subscriptions: New
“Subscribed - Hot” is my normal and then once or twice a day I “All - Top 12 Hours” (or Top Day if I haven’t checked in a while).
I’ve got enough subscribed communities that Hot separates most of the chaff and still has a handful of new threads every hour. Then All - Top 12 hours show’s me the day’s best memes.
switched from active to new comments i have some regrets but i have fear to change back to active
