I sort by New (rather than Hot for instance), myself.
Just randomly curious what other people are sorting at default, and if there’s a common answer.
Kinda wish I could automagically sort comments by New as well. /shrug
I run subscribed on Hot, mainly because that is or was the Mlem default. But sometimes I go to Top for the past 24 hours and it gives a different impression, and I’m still surprised by what posts I hadn’t seen with a huge amount of activity
All/Hot when I haven’t been on for a while, All/New most of the time
Subscribed/Scaled most of the time, which gives me a nice selection of things I’m interested in, with a boost for posts from smaller communities so they don’t get drowned out by larger ones.
All/Hot when I want to check in and see what the rest of the fediverse is up to.
Subscribed/New
New Local, then New All after I run out of content on local.
Subscribed/scaled normally.
Top 6 hours
Hot all, and then I’ll usually switch to New when the hot feed starts getting up to older stuff if I’m still scrolling.
Hot. Then somwtimes top of 6hours and if I feel like I start running out I go to new.
All/Hot or Top 6 Hours
All/Top-Day, I don’t read everything, kinda just skim through
Then I just like check comms I really had in mind that day, usually asklemmy an nostupidquestions and technology and casual questions and sometimes Android… etc…
I check !theasiandiaspora@piefed.social at least like twice a day to see if its still alive.
Even if I sort by subscribed, there’s often like 5 tech articles I have no interest in, and then 5 random gaming stuff I have no interest in, then 5 random c/television stuff, 5 random android stuff, before you know it, subscribed/new is filled with 20 uninteresting stuff, but like I don’t wanna unsubscribe to technology or android, know what I’m saying?
So like, I really have to be in the mood for that specific comm to click on it. Then its just sort by new and check the last 24 hours.
I have it set to New for my subscribed communities. That’s how I do it, at least.
Top day.
Top 6 hours gives insight into active threads and allows me to browse twice a day with no repeats.
I have very slow days at work most days, so I keep my sort on all/new to have new shit to look at during the day. Hot only really sees new content like 3 or 4 times a day.
