The feeling of power I get from being the first upvote on a post in new, then seeing it later in top? Intoxicating!
And we appreciate them taking out the trash. I've tried new when a younger me was on imgur and... let's just say it wasn't for me...
I always browse newest, not because i want to lift up new posts so more people can see it, but because i only get like 3 posts an hour in my subscribed feed
just set it to all
I use home, then after running out of stuff I switch to all.
Don't use All
why not?
I always seem to scroll to some squirrel hentai or some dude’s butthole the second a random passerby can see my phone.
I could hide NSFW posts, but that’s not a life worth living.
I must gaze upon humanity's most secretive chaos
All/new
No, fuck Active. It's like 2 weeks of old content.
Top 6 hours or Top 12 hours if I've been asleep.
Finally someone speaks the truth. Top 6 and top 12 is where it's at right now.
Active is like two days max in my experience.
I tried Active, the first few posts are reasonable but suddenly weeks and even months old posts started showing up. I don't know what's going on, necroposting is hardly activity.
I sort by active because the slower flow of content helps me avoid a social media addiction. I just check the few posts that hit the top of my feed every day, then exit Lemmy for the day.
Look at this bastard with their self control and healthy social media habits! Let's burn them!
I never sort by Top. The only thing I see are just memes and shitposts.
New is the best way to see content on a small instance anyways
Top Six Hour is the only way to roll. Unless you use something else which is also fine
Gotta read new on all because there's not enough content
I only sort by top because I'm a bottom.
I have to do top hour because I'm on here too much 😅
And here I thought hot was just the norm
Top is only nice when you first join a community. If you actually want to engage you should be on one of the others
Can confirm, this is me.
I am always on hot. It’s the best middle ground for me.
I always sort by new 🤷.
