Im personally a “New” enjoyer.
Thank you for your contribution based new sorter.
Based
I forget that we aren’t using the “other” place where sorting by new is terrible
Being a smaller platform where the points don’t matter does make the “new” experience more enjoyable.
reading from top(6H) right now
I’m using top in 12 hours, which fits better when you browse in the morning and in the evening.
I use 6h because I apparently have no life
I believe that it should be the other way around.
You have too much life, so you frivolously spend it on Lemmy.
Those with no life don’t have time for their own interests and hobbies.
That aside, understandable, have a good day.
Look at Mr. Popular over here. I browse 1h.
I switch it based on circumstances. 12h in morning, 6h by noonish, 1h or new by 3pm.
Ya this is the best way.
I found you on Hot!
I found it on top 6 hours
The only thing I see now are memes. That’s what I dislike currently about Lemmy. People aren’t active in other communities most of the time. I am not here to enjoy a instagram-like feed, I am here to read and discuss, like in the forums.
This is one thing that Lemmy REALLY needs to work on. The hobby- and topic-specific communities need to grow. Lemmy is currently dominated by like 5-10 communities, which is fine, but it really falls short of the experience I had on Reddit in that regard.
In order for niche communities to have a sustainable flow of content, you need a massive amount of users overall. Another obstacle is that niche communities can’t grow much because with barely anyone in them, nobody has any reason to go to them.
I am pretty excited to slowly repost all my old content here over the course of several months to reap all those fake internet points again. It isn’t reposting if it is a new website.
I feel validated
I like how people without any prompt all came to the same conclusion.
My Fediverse experience became exponentially superior once I learned that the default sorting options were a bit shite compared to the alternatives.
Lol
I do 6, 12, and 24 hours based on how long it was since I last browsed lemmy

I’m still not sure what’s the difference between Hot and Active. ELI5, anybody?
Active means most comments in recent time, Hot means most upvotes in recent times
I wish Hot had a bit less post decay, it would be close to perfect then. Active doesn’t surface new posts often enough for me

What’s the difference between Hot and Top?
Hot prefers newer posts that are gaining votes and comments. Top prefers the most votes within a specific timeframe.
The Lemmy documentation explains the different sort options pretty well: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
The difference between “Hot” and “Active” is probably the most confusing to most users.
Getting bad gateway on the link but thanks for sharing it. I’ll check it later.

I assume you’re just joking, but does that feature even exist in any Lemmy clients? Seems like the number of servers that don’t allow downvotes would make it useless anyway.
Drama addicts are gonna have to find another teat upon which to suckle.
They could always create their own vicious cycle.
This is something that could be added to a client some day even if it won’t work on some instances. I’d use it on occasion.
It wouldn’t work on posts with more than 50 comments, unfortunately. That’s something the back-end has to offer.
… unless the client decides to proxy all calls and make its own aggregate…
Sync user: So far sync is unable to
Every single Sync for Lemmy post at the top
When you sort by hot in public and scroll past hardcore porn in public.
I swap between top 24/12/6 depending on how long I’m away.
6 gets shitty because you start getting the random porn pretty quickly.
Thank you !. I was trying to find a noob’s guide to Lemmy.
A tip if you’re used to old reddit and use desktop, check out old.lemmy.world. It as a dark mode like reddit enhancement suite adds to old reddit, and everything is exactly where I expect it to be based on my reddit experience. Since you’re already using a lemmy.world account, it’ll just work for you straight away.
Oh and also, you’ll see that you can list things as “all,” “local,” or “subscribed.” You can pretty much ignore local, and use all or subscribed as your main page.
This! Lemmy became so much comfortable by using old.lemmy.world, almost all withdrawal symptoms went away.
