Which is your default sort for posts on Lemmy?

I've used "hot" for a long while but recently changed to "active". I honestly can't say the difference between them.

Subscribed / New

What happened to Top - 6 hours?

- That's what I use.

Right now I use all/new as I build my subscribe and block list. Eventually I will use subscribed/scaled

- I should probably learn with you and start blocking people, but I don't see many things that trigger the need being on Beehaw

Once you block the painful, overly political communities, the million ten girl manga porn communities, and the relentless trans subs, you get a pretty good feed when subscribing by new for all. Just have to bite the bullet, and cull what's not right for you personally.

- I dislike that there isn't another option like "don't show me this on the front page" or something. Blocking sounds too strong for me, haha

- This has worked really well for me

Subscribed/New then All/New after I am caught up.

- All/new is pretty brave.

  To be fair, when I do All/Hot it is not much different than New. But yeah there is some wild stuff there.

always New

Active, then I switch to New once I'm caught up

Before, I use Active for my subscriptions, and Top Day or Top Week for the All feed. Currently, I use Scaled for my subscriptions and All feed unchanged (Top Day or Top Week). I just like how I can take a peek at All and looking at the day's or week's top posts while mostly keeping to my subscriptions.

I sometimes look at Top 12 hours or Top 1 hour in my All feed, but rarely.

- I love how you organized your message, it helps my ADHD brain read haha

All Active, blocking communities and instances I don't like.

2
I start with Subscribed/Active to get my fix for the content I want to see, and then Subscribed/New to contribute comments that aren't parroting what others have already said.

Subscribed hot for posts and top for comments

No one uses "scaled"? 😢

I use last 6 hours... :)

I either select "All" or "Local" on occasion and don't really pay attention to how those categories are filtered. The main challenge I see right now is that there is a lot of content not available or translated in English which leads me to blocking communities that otherwise have interesting and valuable discussion.

Plus there are challenges with figuring out how to find stuff that is new and insightful besides the regular defaults on the feed but perhaps part of that is simply because of not posting enough and being part of the experience.

I use All TopDay in Jerboa.

I use subscribed new and then when I'm done with that I will go to all and go top last 12 hours

1
Oh yea

I alternate between top day and scaled for subscribed. While browsing "all" I use top day.
