Im personally a “New” enjoyer.
Thank you for your contribution based new sorter.

“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.
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.
reading from top(6H) right now
I’m using top in 12 hours, which fits better when you browse in the morning and in the evening.
I use 6h because I apparently have no life
I believe that it should be the other way around.
You have too much life, so you frivolously spend it on Lemmy.
Those with no life don’t have time for their own interests and hobbies.
That aside, understandable, have a good day.
Look at Mr. Popular over here. I browse 1h.
I switch it based on circumstances. 12h in morning, 6h by noonish, 1h or new by 3pm.
Ya this is the best way.
I found you on Hot!
I found it on top 6 hours
I appreciate how deeply weird Hot is. Doesn’t take much scrolling before I see posts from months ago.
I feel validated
I like how people without any prompt all came to the same conclusion.
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.
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.

My Fediverse experience became exponentially superior once I learned that the default sorting options were a bit shite compared to the alternatives.
Lol
I do 6, 12, and 24 hours based on how long it was since I last browsed lemmy

I’m still not sure what’s the difference between Hot and Active. ELI5, anybody?
Active means most comments in recent time, Hot means most upvotes in recent times
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 wish Hot had a bit less post decay, it would be close to perfect then. Active doesn’t surface new posts often enough for me
Hot definitely needs more tweaking.
Every once in awhile, a post from months or years ago will sneak its way into your feed using Hot.
When you sort by hot in public and scroll past hardcore porn in public.
Turn of nsfw
I’m the kind of person thats comfortable with scrolling past hardcore porn on a crowded bus. I’m not a religious man, it’s just nature taking it’s course.
Good for you i guess. Just dont get berated by some annoying lady thats behind ya or wathever.
In the city worst things than that have happened and no one bats an eye. I’ve seen a homeless man wash his junk in the quick trip sink. I’ve seen a crate of homemade molotov cocktails just setting on the front porch. I’ve witnessed someone pull a gun out on someone else just for honking in traffic.
Ok…? I dont think that has anything to do with scrolling past porn in public but wattever.
Idk, I don’t know why it’s a problem for you and I don’t really care. I’m kinda bored of the subject anyway.😁
Nah, dont worry about it, its no problem. Just pointed out that i thought it was kinda random. If yah wanna keep talking then i can hear ya. Cities can be kinda wild sometimes. The one im at right now has had wild shit happened like bombings on multiple gas stations in the same day. A bridge was taken by the river with people on it and i once took a buss and it ran over a biker in a motorcicle.
Or use a client with a blur setting
I like to live on the wild side! 😉
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.
This was the very top of my “top 6 hours” feed. Checks out
Thank you !. I was trying to find a noob’s guide to Lemmy.
A tip if you’re used to old reddit and use desktop, check out old.lemmy.world. It as a dark mode like reddit enhancement suite adds to old reddit, and everything is exactly where I expect it to be based on my reddit experience. Since you’re already using a lemmy.world account, it’ll just work for you straight away.
Oh and also, you’ll see that you can list things as “all,” “local,” or “subscribed.” You can pretty much ignore local, and use all or subscribed as your main page.
This! Lemmy became so much comfortable by using old.lemmy.world, almost all withdrawal symptoms went away.
