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.

Lmao some smaller instances still have fucked front pages but the bigger ones are solved already. You're gonna have to either find a strat that works for you or move around to test stuff.

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 use this URL in a bookmark:

https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/Subscribed/sort/New/page/1

This gives me new posts from my subscribed communities sorted by creation date.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sort by new is still pretty good right now.

It's a bug, the admin of https://lemm.ee/ has fixed it on their instance. It will probably be fixed for everyone on the next release.

First, this isn't reddit, sort by Subscribed / New.

Second, subscribe to stuff and don't be afraid to subscribe at the same time to smaller communities on other instances. Yes, you cannot group them by topic Yet™, but it's on the road map.

Following up:

Third: Don't lurk! We need content here. Be a contributor, and don't worry about what people think. Sieze your moment, and cry, "FIRST! I posted that here."

Man you got almost 500 comments and 50 posts in 10 days. And you're funny. You're putting me to shame and I've really been trying.
