it does depend. if i'm picking fights, i view comments by new in my subs. if i'm trying to mindlessly scroll, i view all.

Usually just all sorted by new

Subscribed + scaled. But occasionally I switch to All + scaled to check if there is something new in trend.

All. If I scroll too far and the blurry thumbnails appear more frequently, I know I need to stop scrolling for that day.

Subscribed, and when I soon run out of content I switch to all.

I dislike Reddit as much as anyone here but god do I miss the sheer amount of content.

All. I crave volume.

there isn't enough traction with the greater populace quite yet, so the lower volume of new posts, means one would be looking at all the same posts for days sometimes if only defaulting to their "subscribed" view, as apposed to all/hot all/newest ...... etc, where there is greater numbers of new posts, a lot of unwanted garbage to be sure, but more action

Viewing all is always a bad idea.

Subscribed, then specific communities by url (since sometimes smaller community posts don't show up on the frontpage), then All if I'm really bored.

I view all, sorted by Newest Comment and then sort the comments by New. I really only subscribe to things to get them federated with my instance (so many communities on other instances, I am literally the only one on my own instance subscribed to them so they don't show up on my feed at all before I find them) and to be able to quickly see a specific community by itself, if I so desire.

All - Top - 6 Hours

If I'm feeling cheeky I'll browse hot or sometimes even Scaled

Both.

Local New first, once that is exhausted I view All New.

Both, subsribed on new und all on active

All. I find new communities all the time!

First Subscribed sorted by new, the all by Top X.

All, same reasons as others, not enough active communities with my specific interests, the all feed is good though :)

That's how I used reddit too for many years, took a long time to curate subs, I hope a similar thing can come about in Lemmy

Usually All. I started that way to find more communities to sub but then got in the habit. Even with a healthy list of subs I still feel a bit limited on subscribed, see more activity on all.

All.

I've curated enough active communities to just browse Home every few hours. But if I'm curious, I browse All on occasion.

Both are set to Rising, and All excludes all subscribed communities.

All new lol. I look at subscribed after I get sick of all.

Subscribed - Hot is how I generally browse but I also check All - Top 12 Hours and All - New from time to time.
