How do you sort your posts in subscribed communities? I’ve been sorting by active, but I keep seeing older stuff that I’ve already seen. Is there a better way to sort?

    The ability to do Top Hour, Six Hour, and 12 Hour versus just Top Day is some quality shit.

    I’ll start off with Top 6, when I feel like I’m seeing less stuff I want to interact with I move to Top Day, and when I’m finished there it’s Top Hour for the rest of the time. Hot if I’m bored to tears.

    All by new. I’m curious to see new stuff, but I’m finding that I’m still interested in the same stuff I was on Reddit, so I’m always contemplating switching to just subbed.

    I do Top Hour or Top 6 Hours, because commenting on newer posts increases the probability of getting virtual internet points and I love virtual internet points

    I sort by Hot if I haven’t logged in for a while. Then when I’ve read through them and looked at everything I want to there, then I sort by New.

    Hot is the best way to see new, good content consistently. Sorting by top or active will show about the same posts, in my experience.

    I typically sort by top + all, then top + subscribed to see the most-engaged posts of the day first; afterwards if I still want to browse I sort by hot + subscribed or new + all.

    I read somewhere that there was a general Lemmy bug with Hot and/or Active not refreshing without a server reset. I’ve heard people say that Best 6 or 12 hours is the best for now.

      Yeah, in my current instance we have to reboot the server every few days or everything stop updating. It’s annoying.
