How do you like to sort your Lemmy feed?

Tibert, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

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.

All>Newest Comments

Just like old forums and BBS, where only adding something to the dialogue pushes it up. Votes are meaningless to the sorting.

Newest first, subscribed only, occasionally browse withoutl logging in so I see non-subscribed. Down with The Algorithm™.

I check subscribed on top of the day once a day.

By RSS. I never see the feed.

rustyriffs, 7 months ago

Care to elaborate?

JubilantJaguar, 7 months ago

Next to the dropdown with sorting options, there are two icons: one is “sorting help”, the other is RSS. Copy that link into an RSS reader and you need never look at the feed again. All the “Top” (or whatever) items will get mixed up into a feed of whatever else you’re reading by RSS.

Top six hours for all, new for subscribed and communities.

Anonymousllama, 7 months ago

Always “all” and sorted by the last 12/24 hours. I found that gives the best results, fresh content with decent comments

Subs: New All: Top 6 hours Or, when I’m feeling adventurous, All: New

Sometimes I want that wild west.

After going through Subscribed - new, I switch it to all new.

Klaymore, 7 months ago

I get caught up on Subscribed - New and make sure I’ve seen everything, and then if I’m still bored I’ll go to All - Top Day or 12 hour, and then if I’ve seen most of those I go down to Top 6 hour

registrert, 7 months ago

I start at top of day, then 12 hrs, then 6 hrs, then 1 hr and then new. All, not subscribed, of course. It helps that I’m on a small instance where basically everything is interesting and it’s not flooded with posts.

All: Top Six Hours

kalkulat, 7 months ago

Subscriptions: New

Nunya, 7 months ago

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.

PatFussy, 7 months ago

If its all then i do top: 6hr but i sort individual communities as new
