Local feed sorted by New
New | All
A great way to find new and interesting content only if you’ve got a good block list set up.
What do you mean block list? Why block who? I haven’t blocked anyone. If someone is a dick I either be a dick back and or ignore them, works for me.
Or are you blocking types of posts? Because there is a lot of dumb like naked pictures bot posted from reddit, if I want porn I’ve better places to find it, and don’t have to worry about accidently clicking on a picture I don’t want to see so much.
Block lists meaning communities, instances and filter words.
Also a good way to start building or expanding the aforementioned block list
This is the best way to see what’s there. Then, get a block list started.
First commenters are always “new”😆
What kind of people set their default feed sort to old 😭
If you want to see everything and also arrive at a thread already populated with good juicy comments.
It would be the same every day though.
Not defending sorting by old bc that’s crazy, but there is an option to automatically hide posts you vote on or open to read, so you wouldn’t necessarily be looking at the same thing. You would however be reading months or years old posts and comments and it’d be a little strange to try and respond to anything.
Not if you hide read posts.
You’d have to read every post.
voyager allows hiding everything you have scrolled past
Incredible.
You’d have to mark every post as read. Big difference. Good frontends offer you to do that while you scroll past and mark crossposts as well.
Amazing.
New, on my subscribed communities
New, Subscribed
New: There’s a limited enough amount of content presently being submitted in the areas that I’m interested in that I don’t feel the need to try to use votes to filter out things. It’s not impossible that I’d move to something that accounts for votes in the long run, but it’s not enough of a torrent yet.
Subscribed: I don’t believe that trying to view All and then blacklisting everything that you don’t want scales well. People can add communities all the time, and inevitably — there’s a huge amount of stuff out there — a lot of it isn’t stuff that I’m going to be interested in. It’s like trying to blacklist the Internet — means a constant game of whack-a-mole. Also, “All” will only see communities that are either local to your home instance or where another user on your home instance has already subscribed to things, so especially on smaller instances, you may never see something that you’re interested in that someone does create. I follow !newcommunities@lemmy.world, !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and hit https://lemmyverse.net/communities occasionally to find new communities of interest.
new, always new
Mbin but all and active (I rarely filter to just subscribed and I stead just block communities I don’t care for)
Hot, then new
Sounds like it might be a good dating strategy too.
then new.
Dating strategy
This one right here FBI…
Oh… Right… the FBI doesn’t care about that stuff anymore.
Top 6 hours
“Active” on Home, when I run out of stuff, “Hot” on Home. If I get really desperate, “Hot” on All.

I find this effectively acts as “new” for small communities, and “hot” for big ones.
Agreed, I really prefer it for that as well
All top 6 hrs. I usually browse Lemmy twice a day and it tends to let me see most everything.
Some days I do too much Lemmy scrolling, so i keep it at top 12h so i am less likely to hit the bottom.
The bottom is kind of fun though, it gets weird.
Same. All, either Top 6 or Top 12, with the occasional Top 24 (Today) if I’ve been busy and feel I need to catch up.
Hot for posts, but new for comments. Lets me catch good comments that come later in a post’s life
Great idea. I’m gonna use that.
I’m not using Lemmy, but my default sort is set to “Active”. Gives me the most interesting feed imo. Well, comments use “hot”.
That said, I don’t usually browse. I have a bunch of users and communities set to notify me on new posts, and I usually already get too many notifications that I don’t also feel like browsing the site after looking at them all. Really changed my view of how active the fediverse is.
