[SOLVED]

For the Subscribed feed, which includes communities I curated for consumption, sorting by New is acceptable. However, the Local feed and especially the Everything feed are much less controlled and are usually infested with bots and automated posts. For those, I would prefer the sortings of Active or Top.

I think if possible, the app should allow users to set the default sorting differently for each feed. I don't know if this is possible for the app, or if it requires an overall Lemmy configuration, so I'm just throwing it out here for discussion.
