currently juggling between active and hot sorts and both seem to return the same crap throughout the day… what sort works best for you?
I sort by new most of the time, just for the most variety.
Top 12 hours. Top day gives me stuff I saw already
My default is Top6Hours
Hot and active showed too much old content. So I’ve gone with new and different variations of top _ hour.
I go with New personally, though I don’t subscribe to all that much - I imagine that it would be a bit less pleasant if you’re on a hundred different communities.
I’ve been browsing All -> New
I’ve been blocking communities or instances I don’t want to see. It took a day or two but now I’m discovering some great communities all the time. As my community list grows, I’ll eventually swap to my subscribed feed.
I mostly use kbin; how do you block communities or instances in lemmy? I didn’t see an obvious way to do this, but I am often oblivious so that’s not as conclusive as I’d wish it to be, haha
In Lemmy, there should be a button on the sidebar for communities. You can’t block instances (yet)
Oh, that button is (correctly) hidden if you’ve joined the community, haha
I’ve been using Connect on Android because it supports keyword filters (musk and reddit alone make my feed much more tolerable) and instance blocking. Was using Jerboa since coming over early June but switched the other day when I read someone mentioning its filtering capabilities.
It’s decent overall, but supreme in eliminating musk spam and lemmynsfw from your All feeds.
I was able to block instances with Connect. Currently using the Sync for Lemmy internal beta and that functionality hasn’t been added in yet.
With Connect, it was as simple of clicking on the overflow menu and hitting block community or block instance. Worked like a charm!
I flip between mobile and desktop too much to rely on any app-specific features. I do have connect but I usually just go to the webpage even on my phone.

Subscribed --> new. If there’s not enough content for that day I go to the all tab in the chronological order
New, Top Six Hour and Top Twelve Hour
Yep, top 6 And new.
The problem with new is that there are never any comments
Yeah, I’ve had the best experience with top 6 hours for all. Blocked a couple communities but not as many as I would’ve thought.
Subscribe to some communities that interests you, then comments/subscribed.
Just upgraded to 0.18.3-rc.4 and the Hot sort seems to be fixed now. (I’d guess Active would be too.) So, that now. Before I pretty much only used Top X Hours based on when I last looked.
Though, now that I’m looking at Hot, the communities I’m in definitely feel a whole lot more active.
There is not yet enough content for your sort selection to really matter. I sort by new because at least I’ll see more content as stuff is posted throughout the day.
I just go to the communities that I am part of mainly.
Using Top 6 hours now because Hot is broken. Once it’s fixed I’m back to Hot though.
@mancy
I mainly use Hot and New. What is broken about Hot? And I don’t understand how Top works, because its neither top likes nor top comments.Edit: Never mind, I’m on Kbin and this topic is about Lemmy.After a couple of posts it starts showing several years old posts
@Marmanvii
Doesn’t happen for me.OH WAIT! I just noticed this is Lemmy. I am on Kbin and saw this through federated content (or through subscribed servers). So never mind then.
i tend to sort by Hot as a default. sometimes I sort by New to catch stuff that’s up-and-coming.
i usually browse only my subscribed feed, but I’ll dip into All sometimes to see if there’s anything interesting in communities i don’t subscribe to, but it’s usually just memes.
