Why YSK:” So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.
Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)
Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago
Depends on the instance. There was a bug that made hot stale, but several instances have fixed it. Hot gives me fresh results in lemmy.world. The only issue is the algorithm still needs work. It is closer to “rising” and has a tendency to bury posts on small communities.
I definitely agree that the algorithm needs some work. Maybe someday lemmy instances will be able to have customizable variables like “post staling rate” or “karma to recency ratio” or something in that ballpark.
It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I’m browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.
I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.
Maybe I’m not subscribed to enough communities, but New is what works for me. Hot and Active are always stale.
I prefer New Comments. Keeps the feed fresh with a good balance of new posts and active posts.
Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can’t browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.
LPT: if you want, you can change your default sort settings. Click on your profile in the top right corner > settings > type and sort type.
The real LPT is always in the comments!
(Guess I’m the first one to say that line here on Lemmy xD)
I’m witnessing history. 😎
It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts
I sort new as there isn’t enough posts to justify going for hot.
Also might be helpful to know that you can set your default sort type under you profile settings.
When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?
