I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that's like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I've already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of "top 16 hours" and "active"?

What do you do when browsing Lemmy? What are some of your strategies to get good shit while being here? Cuz so far if I try and use the front pages I get bored to shit.

The way I get anything barely worth interacting with from the front page is New Comments. Not the best, but better than the other options I discussed.

That or just, instead of interacting with a lot of stuff, interacting deeply with the few things I find that I like.

It's a bug, the admin of https://lemm.ee/ has fixed it on their instance. It will probably be fixed for everyone on the next release.

Lmao some smaller instances still have fucked front pages but the bigger ones are solved already. You're gonna have to either find a strat that works for you or move around to test stuff.

First, this isn't reddit, sort by Subscribed / New.

Second, subscribe to stuff and don't be afraid to subscribe at the same time to smaller communities on other instances. Yes, you cannot group them by topic Yet™, but it's on the road map.

Following up:

Third: Don't lurk! We need content here. Be a contributor, and don't worry about what people think. Sieze your moment, and cry, "FIRST! I posted that here."

Bruh you're talking to [email protected]. He couldn't lurk if he were paid a million bucks to do so. This dude has shit to say.

Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sort by new is still pretty good right now.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sorting by new is working well for me. There may come a day when Lemmy communities have so much content that it's too much for me to browse, but we're not there yet. I'm sure when that day comes, though, Hot and Active will be better methods.

I know there are plenty of fixes coming in the next version of Lemmy, and maybe some of these sorting issues will be....ahem....sorted out with that.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sort by either new or top today

If you’re feeling adventurous select all and sort by new/top today

If you’re feeling adventurous

i am not! i am feeling stressed and i want a hug :) but i live alone so i will have to hug a pillow.

All>new is my fav so far. Lots of stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's the communities you're subscribed to. Personally, my front page is pretty filled. Take a look at https://lemmyverse.net/ to see communities from other instances.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

What do you sort by? I'm already following around 40 communities. Maybe it is indeed which communities I follow and maybe I do need to follow more. I'll follow your advice and try to fill it up way more and see if that makes a difference (apart from making New an unreadable mess of fast-scrolling titles)

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

I have been sorting by "new comments." which is solid.

Also occaisonally just sorting by new

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy can be sorted by new pretty safely, unlike reddit where you're gonna see some cursed shit sorting all by new
