I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that’s like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I’ve already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of “top 16 hours” and “active”?
What do you do when browsing Lemmy? What are some of your strategies to get good shit while being here? Cuz so far if I try and use the front pages I get bored to shit.
The way I get anything barely worth interacting with from the front page is New Comments. Not the best, but better than the other options I discussed.
That or just, instead of interacting with a lot of stuff, interacting deeply with the few things I find that I like.
Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.
I’ve done that, but my new feed, maybe it’s a difference in which communities we follow, but my communities’ New are not top quality but very eh.
