For me I browse my subscribed feed sorted by scaled the most, I find other sorting settings to not give enough posts from the niche communities i’m subscribed to,
I think everything but Old honestly.
Hot when I want to see what the front page has.
Top when I see a new community or comments.
New when I want to see what my subscriptions are up to.
Home, which I think is subscriptions. All is a mess.
Subscribed communities NEWEST
If I’m feeling frisky, I try ALL. Usually I just get really confused.
so much shitposting
Always All by hot. When I run out of content in that, I change to new
When I first started using Lemmy, someone recommended this and now I pass it to you:
- Subscribed: sort by newest
- All: Top posts (last 6 hrs)
This is the way
I don’t use Lemmy or Piefed, but I have Active set as my default. And don’t really ever change to a different sort.
Home by new, all by top6. Sometimes all by new just to see if any interesting communities show up.
Subscribed only, sort New.
Hot on subscribed, Top of 6 hrs on All
I think I’m the kind of Lemmy user that annoys most of the hardcore ones. I use Lemmy world, mostly through a mobile app (boost) and don’t really customise anything. I’m afraid I have no great inclination to dive deeper into the technology.
I scroll until something engages me and then drop little comments like this. I’m more about enjoying people’s opinions on a variety of topics than curating a niche feed. I guess I’ll get there if the quality drops, but right now it works for me.
All New, what does scaled do?
I’m not sure but I think it takes into account community size so that you get more posts from smaller communities, rather than your feed being mostly posts from larger communities, correct me if I’m wrong though
Sounds like (how) democratic republics (should correctly work).
Cool. Thanks
All.
There isn’t enough content on fedi for subscribed feeds to make any sense. Unless you’re part of the porn/ID pol communities which have the most prolific posting.
I’m mostly interested in news anyway, so it works for me.
Well I’m subscribed to about 60 communities and I have enough to fill up my subscribed feed, the issue is probably not subscribing to enough communities and/or not subscribing to enough large and active ones like this one
Weird, almost like we have different standards for what is worth subscribing too.
Well we do, I don’t care for news and a lot of what is in the all feed, so I don’t use it
and i don’t care for petty weirdos who want to lecture me on the internet because they are hurt that i don’t share their preferences or usage patterns.
Local New. Thinking I should try switching to All New though. Worried it might be too much though…
Back when Reddit was a thing I did Subscribed New and was mostly subscribed to niche subs, but there was enough traffic it support it. Quickly found when I moved to Lemmy I needed a different approach.
If you’re worried All might be too much, liberally use the community block function. There’s no shame on curating even All feed
Subscribed, New, every time.
Subscribed / Newest what else?
I haven’t subscribed to any shit, and in total it is not too much that I couldn’t read over the headlines in a short time
