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
This question made me actually go into settings, and I can sort automatically by new instead of have to resort every time I open! Thanks!
There's a setting to sort comments to, on Voyager at least.
New Local, then New All after I run out of content on local.
All/Hot or Top 6 Hours
Top 6 hours gives insight into active threads and allows me to browse twice a day with no repeats.
New Comments so it acts like an old school forum.
/agree, probably the closest answer to my mindset so far. (And I do love me some old school forums. RIP Portent and Waryammer.)
Subscribed/scaled normally.
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.
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.
All/Hot when I haven't been on for a while, All/New most of the time
Hot. Then somwtimes top of 6hours and if I feel like I start running out I go to new.
All/Top 6 hours.
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
Top 6 hours
I have it set to New for my subscribed communities. That's how I do it, at least.
Top day.
I'm not on Lemmy, but I have the "Active" sort set as my default.
Hot is way better than active
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.
Penis.
