Not all heroes wear capes

There is a secret coven of people who sort by new and make or break every lemmy post

58
- It was supposed to be secret, don't give us away!

  I sort by hot, now burn on the stake witches!
  
  11
- The feeling of power I get from being the first upvote on a post in new, then seeing it later in top? Intoxicating!

- And we appreciate them taking out the trash. I've tried new when a younger me was on imgur and... let's just say it wasn't for me...

I always browse newest, not because i want to lift up new posts so more people can see it, but because i only get like 3 posts an hour in my subscribed feed

49
- just set it to all

  I use home, then after running out of stuff I switch to all.

  Don't use All

No, fuck Active. It's like 2 weeks of old content.

Top 6 hours or Top 12 hours if I've been asleep.

39
- Finally someone speaks the truth. Top 6 and top 12 is where it's at right now.

  Be careful, it's strong stuff. If you're not careful you'll find yourself on New, pressing F5 again and again until you get your next fix.

- Active is like two days max in my experience.

  I tried Active, the first few posts are reasonable but suddenly weeks and even months old posts started showing up. I don't know what's going on, necroposting is hardly activity.

I sort by active because the slower flow of content helps me avoid a social media addiction. I just check the few posts that hit the top of my feed every day, then exit Lemmy for the day.

24
- Look at this bastard with their self control and healthy social media habits! Let's burn them!

New is the best way to see content on a small instance anyways

16
- Top Six Hour is the only way to roll. Unless you use something else which is also fine

I never sort by Top. The only thing I see are just memes and shitposts.

12
- Why don't you block the meme and shitpost communities if they don't interest you? I would especially recommend to block ShittyMemes based on your woes.

  No it's not like I hate memes and the shitposts, it's just that they clutter up my feed when I sort by Top.

Gotta read new on all because there's not enough content

I only sort by top because I'm a bottom.

Can confirm, this is me.

I always sort by new 🤷.

- Addict. (Takes one to know one)

  Not really, I'm on Lemmy like... an hour a day probably.

I have to do top hour because I'm on here too much 😅

4
And here I thought hot was just the norm

Top is only nice when you first join a community. If you actually want to engage you should be on one of the others

I am always on hot. It’s the best middle ground for me.

Laughs in top hour
