The problem is currently that by default it shows active posts, and its been the same posts for days now. What options do you use for sorting when doomscrolling to see interesting content?

    Active seems to show the posts that people are commenting on, whereas Hot seems to be better for showing newer content.

    Having the same problem, but I think I read somewhere they are working on fixing it?

    Because it keeps resetting to Active and Local after a while, so I also keep seeing the same posts.

    I’ve been primarily sorting by new. While on other sites I don’t like sorting by new because you’ll see 90% low-quality posts, Lemmy is small and passionate enough that nearly all posts will be good quality.

      All and local have been pretty… Bad for me.

      I don’t hate having fun or memes or NSFW or whatever, but that’s not what I’m looking at right now. So I’d like to just hide some communities from my view.

      I never used all/popular on Reddit, but Lemmy is small enough to do so. I’d just like to avoid some things.

        That’s 100% valid. I’ve subscribed to a TON of communities already so I spend most of my time looking at new subscribed posts. I could see why the new posts on all would not be ideal.

    My problem is that the most popular comms in my subscriptions dominate my feed over anything else. The algorithm really needs to be tweaked to show a good mix of every subscription feed.
