Usually top for a certain period of time like six or twelve hours.
“Hot Singles in my Area”
Scaled | Subscribed
I find this effectively acts as “new” for small communities, and “hot” for big ones.
Hot, then new
Subscribed and scaled sorting.
New | All
A great way to find new and interesting content only if you’ve got a good block list set up.
Also a good way to start building or expanding the aforementioned block list
All/Everything sorted by New Comments so it functions like a normal forum.
I left it at default, Active for posts, Hot for comments.
I am only subscribed to Garfield so my subscribed button pulls up Garfield comic posts.
All top 6 hrs. I usually browse Lemmy twice a day and it tends to let me see most everything.
First commenters are always “new”😆
What kind of people set their default feed sort to old 😭
If you want to see everything and also arrive at a thread already populated with good juicy comments.
It would be the same every day though.
Not if you hide read posts.
You’d have to read every post.
You’d have to mark every post as read. Big difference. Good frontends offer you to do that while you scroll past and mark crossposts as well.
Amazing.
Splendid!
voyager allows hiding everything you have scrolled past
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.
