So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.
Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)
Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago
Depends on the instance. There was a bug that made hot stale, but several instances have fixed it. Hot gives me fresh results in lemmy.world. The only issue is the algorithm still needs work. It is closer to “rising” and has a tendency to bury posts on small communities.
I definitely agree that the algorithm needs some work. Maybe someday lemmy instances will be able to have customizable variables like “post staling rate” or “karma to recency ratio” or something in that ballpark.
When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?
I prefer New Comments. Keeps the feed fresh with a good balance of new posts and active posts.
I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.
TopDay works best for me atm, Hot sometimes keeps posts that are days or at most a week old at the top of my feed
Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can’t browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.
It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts
It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I’m browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.
LPT: if you want, you can change your default sort settings. Click on your profile in the top right corner > settings > type and sort type.
The real LPT is always in the comments!
(Guess I’m the first one to say that line here on Lemmy xD)
