The "active" setting really fucks up the order.
Like you are reading a couple of posts, and when you go to the next page, you see the same posts because so many comments are made which put those posts at the top again.
Really want something like "hot for the last 24h" and then ordered by amount of comments in the last 24h.
The issue is that the sorting options are taken literally down to the algorithmic level. They really need to be tweaked to fit better with user expectations
Never seen anyone else mention this, but when I click a post on page 2 then go back, it shows the page 1 posts again. But because the URL is set up for page 2, clicking next goes to page 3. If I don't concentrate I end up reading one post from each page and missing 90% of my feed.
Just use a frontend with infinite scroll
Top 12hr, then top 6hr, then top 1hr as the day progresses.
New Comments.
Bump btw
Local New. Going to All or Subscribed is an epic trek to a foreign land to bring home luxurious news and spicy memes.
I wish there was a controversial, tends to be the funniest
Top 12 hours
All, top 6 hours, Blocklist full
Any new communities I see I sub to, but rarely use my subbed feed as it's still pretty dry.
I don't have much to contribute.
"New"
"New" is Guts' sword slicing the table in half
Top 12h slaps, just the right mix of news, memes and porn
I'm using that as default right fucking now. Thanks.
Active is my preferred sort method. It keeps the active discussions at the top, hot I’ll switch to occasionally after I’ve browsed enough of the active feed.
Must of my subscribed communities are small enough that I don’t think top 6 hours is distinct enough from active/hot
I start with my subscribed top 6 hour, then move to all, and often go to top 1 hour or new because I open Lemmy more than once every 6 hours. Occasionally I'll head over to active, that's mostly when I want to read lots of comments
Default Hot and then switch to 6 hr if nothing is hitting
Subscribed new, then all new, then all hot, then all top 6 hours.
1st. Subscribed - New Comments 2nd. All - New Comments 3rd. All - New (desperate for new and interesting at this point) 4th. Inbox 5th. Find people who are wrong on the Internet (on Lemmy) and tell them why they are wrong5 wouldn't have to happen if there was more good stuff to read, folks. :)
All. Active + Hide read.
This is the way. All your threads are belong.
Subscribed Hot
There are dozens of us!
Subscribed top 6 hours
All. New. Sometimes I think I enjoy torturing myself.
im not gonna change it from active mabye
Default is set to Subscribed Hot. Second going for Everything Hot and Active afterwards.
Just go to the website and scroll down. It’s real easy.
All hot (all the time)
