Why YSK:” So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.
Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)
Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago
Depends on the instance. There was a bug that made hot stale, but several instances have fixed it. Hot gives me fresh results in lemmy.world. The only issue is the algorithm still needs work. It is closer to “rising” and has a tendency to bury posts on small communities.
I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.
It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I’m browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.
When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?
It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts
Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can’t browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.
Temp fix: Set page to 0 instead of 1 - https://lemmy.world/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/0. This stops the feed from auto updating
LPT: if you want, you can change your default sort settings. Click on your profile in the top right corner > settings > type and sort type.
The real LPT is always in the comments!
(Guess I’m the first one to say that line here on Lemmy xD)
