I still haven’t decided on whether top, hot or scaled is the best sort. I feel like all of them feels “wrong” somehow. Any ideas?
Subscribed - New
New then active
Plus one for new it helps push up new posts from new people engaging with the platform.
As some other people suggested, I can also add vote to scaled, especially on subscribed communities.
I don’t spend that much time on lemmy and smaller communities don’t get attention in my feed otherwise. With scaled they pop up pretty often.
Hot, but once a day I check Top-Day
Scaled
I check active/hot interchangeably, and then use the 1 hour/6 hour/12 hour filters, depending on how long it’s been since I last opened the app
So far scaled seems nice to get the little ones higher up. AFAIK you can’t pre-make custom lists as some communities are perhaps more fun if you go for newest (comments) but then the small ones might get lost in the chaos.
Ideally, I would set scaled top 6-hours or something?
My default is hot for subscribed, although i should also try scaled to show smaller communities.
And if I hit posts I recently browsed, I changed it up to Top 12 hours or top of day for all to see some ‘newer’ things.
I wasn’t sure early on but found those worked well for me.
Subscribed, top of the day, at the same time of day, every day.
I do All - Scaled. I’ll switch to New if I feel like I’m seeing a lot of repeat content. I’ve had to block a few bots (the reddit reposters are particularly egregious) and communities I don’t really care for.
