The fact that I’m still seeing this at the top of my “Top (Twelve Hours)” means you’re probably right? lol
Hot has been getting better, but yeah, active sucks
Active is literally showing posts from 2-3 days ago
Active randomly shows me stuff from 2-3 years ago lol
Hot does for me as well if I scroll far enough, really weird, but I just use 12/6h sorts and it works well enough
i sort by ‘new comments’ by default. makes me feel like i’m on ye olde forums, and i am mostly here for discussion more than anything.
just use the home tab on posts
Holy shit thank you! THANK YOU!
I didn’t know this was an option!
THANK YOU!!!
Sorts by controversial
Every single Sync for Lemmy post at the top
I assume you’re just joking, but does that feature even exist in any Lemmy clients? Seems like the number of servers that don’t allow downvotes would make it useless anyway.
This is something that could be added to a client some day even if it won’t work on some instances. I’d use it on occasion.
It wouldn’t work on posts with more than 50 comments, unfortunately. That’s something the back-end has to offer.
… unless the client decides to proxy all calls and make its own aggregate…
Sync user: So far sync is unable to
Drama addicts are gonna have to find another teat upon which to suckle.
They could always create their own vicious cycle.
What’s the difference between Hot and Top?
Hot prefers newer posts that are gaining votes and comments. Top prefers the most votes within a specific timeframe.
The Lemmy documentation explains the different sort options pretty well: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
The difference between “Hot” and “Active” is probably the most confusing to most users.
Getting bad gateway on the link but thanks for sharing it. I’ll check it later.
I found you on Hot!
I appreciate how deeply weird Hot is. Doesn’t take much scrolling before I see posts from months ago.
I found it on top 6 hours
Im personally a “New” enjoyer.
“New” for subscribed, top6h for everything
I would love a hybrid of my subscriptions and top posts. I’m still settling in from Reddit and I’m still to find out what’s out there.
Getting to grips with how to search for and find communities.
I just searched for some of the bigger servers, opened the
communitiestab and subbed every community I found remotely interesting. Was about 2-3h of work.
Thank you for your contribution based new sorter.
I forget that we aren’t using the “other” place where sorting by new is terrible
Being a smaller platform where the points don’t matter does make the “new” experience more enjoyable.

I tried it and your meme disappeared. I had to go back to hot to find it. 🤔
I feel validated
I like how people without any prompt all came to the same conclusion.
This meme improved my experience, excellent job.
The only thing I see now are memes. That’s what I dislike currently about Lemmy. People aren’t active in other communities most of the time. I am not here to enjoy a instagram-like feed, I am here to read and discuss, like in the forums.
I am pretty excited to slowly repost all my old content here over the course of several months to reap all those fake internet points again. It isn’t reposting if it is a new website.
This is one thing that Lemmy REALLY needs to work on. The hobby- and topic-specific communities need to grow. Lemmy is currently dominated by like 5-10 communities, which is fine, but it really falls short of the experience I had on Reddit in that regard.

Trying this out brb
Haven’t heard back yet…
Ok I came back ! It’s truly a life changing trick, approved. I’ve also experimented with top 12h, and it’s giving me good results too. Maybe switching to 24h in the future.
I always start with my Home/Frontpage/Subscribed feed on New. Then, when Ive exhausted that (since I’m a lemmy addict) I switch to All - New. That’s usually enough for me. If my soul still desires content I switch to All - Hot. Your All feed can be pretty good if you block certain communities.
Yup, best way to browse is All by New, then block anything you don’t like to see, that way you won’t miss any new communities that pops up.
