I’ve found myself switching to New because of the much smaller community size. I’d like to participate more than I have in other places. If I wasn’t doing that, I’d use Active to see what others are saying.
Yeah, same and for the same reason, to be more engaged than I have been elsewhere. I mostly switch between All / New or Subscribed / New. I can see that changing if things get much busier.
I've mostly been using new and top of the last hour or 6 hours
I'm currently sorting on new and trying to contribute on topics that interest me.
I'm using Top 6 Hours since I'm trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.
Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn't feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.
I primarily sort by New, but there’s actually so much new content lately that I miss things that way. Memmy added Top 6 Hours, which I’m also using now - I like it better than Top Day, as it keeps me from seeing top posts I already saw in the morning when I browse at night, and vice versa.
When I used Reddit, I primarily visited subreddits individually - I might start doing that for the smaller lemmy communities that I want to make sure I don’t miss any posts on, too.
New
New or top day
I generally stick to Subscribed sorted by Top Hour, Top 6 Hours, Top 12 Hours, then do the same for All. I don't get much out of sorting by Hot since I'm usually more interested to read fresh posts with less active engagement.
New Comment or New. It keeps my timeline mostly fresh.
Subscribed/New.
I haven't seen any way to hide read posts on either the browser version or on Connect for Lemmy. Is there a service that has that feature or maybe I'll just missing something?
I still mostly use Hot, but sometimes switch to New
Same; I believe Hot is bugged however
My "Subscribed" "Hot" currently has 3 items from today and then gets into stuff from months ago.
Seems completely broken to me.
Top hour and top 6 hours are my goto options at
