I've seen a few mentions of people feeling like they're constantly seeing the same content when sorting by active, I've since moved to hot, and I'm having a much better time.

Thanks! This helped me.

[-] SFDope@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the tip! I've been trying to figure out how to find instances and add them which is a whole nother thing..one step at to figure it out.

[-] SirYeet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lol glad this was posted. I figured it out the 2nd day (July 2nd) but I'm GLAD it was finally confirmed with this and wasn't just a placebo

[-] cerevant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There are also new “top” options, and really “new” isn’t a bad option.

[-] WeirderMelonz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hot and Active singles in your area are waiting to chat.

[-] all4one@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

I only found this post because I finally sorted by hot instead of active.

[-] LightProtector@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Found this through hot lol

[-] pwolter0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's pretty hot. 🔥 🔥

[-] sci@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Can I make it sort by hot by default?

[-] Undearius@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, you can find those options under Sort Type in your profile settings if you're using the web version. I'm sure each of the apps has that option as well.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Also, changing your front page from local only/subscribed to all will show you all posts your instance can see.

"New" lets you get even more diverse content.

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I like/dislike the seen posts to mark them as seen and mave my account configured to hide seen posts. No duplicates.

I prefer sorting by active to se posts with more comments.

Hot subscribed is my default but I cycle through all the different sort settings. Thanks to lemmycommunityseeder I have a All feed that’s populated like a bigger instance on my personal instance

[-] DoctorTYVM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I try to only follow the communities on my instance. I don't like having the delays between one instance and others so I'll just stick to this place where it's all in real time

Plus if any defederation happens it has less impact

When I first got here, I found hot was showing a lot of older posts but that seems less the case as time goes on. I think it's a question of more and more new content appearing now with communities starting to flourish, so it doesn't fall back on the older stuff as much? It's a good sign!

[-] Cybermass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This should be a pinned post lmao

[-] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago

I switch between hot and new. Then I'll sort by new comments. Then top if I'm really out of new stuff.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
