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.
I just realized that this post was 16 days ago…

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.
I know there are plenty of fixes coming in the next version of Lemmy, and maybe some of these sorting issues will be…ahem…sorted out with that.
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’ve done that, but my new feed, maybe it’s a difference in which communities we follow, but my communities’ New are not top quality but very eh.
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.”
Bruh you’re talking to God@sh.itjust.works. He couldn’t lurk if he were paid a million bucks to do so. This dude has shit to say.

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.
Btw you ever watch My Mister?
I haven’t but if you say it’s good i’ll watch it. It’s on my recommended list sometimes but there’s just so much in it that it’s not owo. brb someone prayed for me
You’re putting me to shame and I’ve really been trying.
😳
well i didn’t know it was hard, maybe i’m just a shitposter cuz i don’t think about it much, i just go for it, and i try not to leave any comment unanswered, even if the answer is only partial. i do have some training in shitpostery. It was at the shitposter special forces on steemit.com where you got money for shitposting a shitton. I guess I kept the habit of never shutting up cuz that’s what brings dem monies over there.
Lmao hey man, whatever works. Sh.itpost away if it’s stimulating engagement on this platform. We gotta get to at least a million users before I start to relax and feel like Lemmy is here to stay
