Hot
You JUST said new.......now you say hot. Heeeeyyyy what is this??? Some kind of scam???
They're providing options, like a poll.
Subscribed - scaled.
'Subscribed - Scaled' to catch up, then 'Subscribed - New' to interact.
Are there any apps that support scaled? I've tried a few and no luck so far. I like the scaled view.
Sync does
Voyager
jerboa does.
Ah thank you! I will have a look at those.
Thunder. Eteriny with the newest update should habe it too, though itis not yet on fdroid :(
TopSixHour
That's the one I use :) I like it. Always a fresh feed every day. I don't view my subscriptions by default though, I view /all with a lot of blocking done over the months.
I usually change to new because
- I usually get the same post over and over for a long time in my feed
- not from the USA and I'm sick of the Trump/Harris drama
I blocked all US news stuff to clear my feed, there are a lot of politics related posts here.
Same but with porn. Good lord are people horny for the weirdest things.
Some Lemmy clients offer keyword filtering if you really want to get aggressive about filtering out US election stuff.
I want to control the percentage of stuff each sub shows me. I want to subscribe to news and world news and politics, but then 100% of my feed is politics, despite the fact that 99% of my subscriptions are NOT politically based.
That’s mainly an issue of scale. The niche communities don’t have as much activity day to day so you see that stuff less
You can set it to not show posts you have already seen.
I'm still waiting for the Harris trump sex tape. The one where Harris has a 12 inch black strapon, and trump cries out in pain.
Then nobody will want for anybody, and I csn nominate myself in the running, vote for myself, and win by 1 vote.
Top (of which there are several)
All, top 12 or 24 hours.
Subscribed - New
I do it by new, cuz if not my feed stays the same for like a week
Try subscribing to more things. Theres more to Lemmy than just linux.
I'm tryna find as many active subs as a I can. Any suggestions?
Well, what are your interests/hobbies?
Fiction, crotchet, gardening, hiking, dogs, humor, casual convos. That's sorta thing
If you aren't sorting by new, you have no backbone and will never please any of the gods of war.
Subscribed - New
Active
Scaled and then new in a community.
New local first ,once exhausted I jump over to new all.
All - New ( nsfw off)
All - Hot mostly.
New when I have been on for a stretch long enough that it is mostly repeats.
I have everything by New. It’s not populous enough yet that there’s anything I need to skip automatically.
Top 6hrs
Everything - Active. There's too many dead posts, and pointless posts to sort by new.
Usually in this order
- Subscribed - New
- All - New
- All - Active or Hot (not really sure what the difference is between those two)
- All - Top 12 hours
All hot until bored, then all new until horrified.
Subscribed + New or Local + Active
Most / New comments
active, controversial, or new.
Tend to start with top (day) for my subs and then switch to scaled once I get down to posts that are below 100 upvotes or so to see more posts from smaller communities that can’t make that ‘top’ cut.
