Hi All, Salut à tou.te.s
So, by default, the “front-page” whatever how it’s called is sorted by “Active” which is showing mostly one week old post, you know the big strike.
I know that I can sort by “new” but is there something more suited to see the recent but popular thread ?
Top Day seems to be working well for me. Since things generally move a bit slower on here than the Reddit firehose, Top Day gives you a nice blend of newer stuff plus stuff that has some active discussions going on
I set top day subscribed, go through a few new subscribed, go on kbin, set it to hot defederated, hot federated, quickly skim the microblog threads on there, go on lemm.ee, visit hot and active subscribed (they have applied a fix to the active problem on this one that shows days old posts), and then I go through many of the communities I’m subscribed to and go through active, hot, new, etc., and basically see what’s up.
I basically mentioned all the sorting methods right? But what’s the best one, you ask? Probably kbin by hot local and hot federated. And on Lemmy itself, probably lemm.ee hot. And on this instance, probably new for subscribed and top day for sub, local and all.
I’ve seen you pop up twice now in the verse and I had to stop and tell you your username is awesome!!
I sort by Type: Subscribed; Sort type: New.
As the threadiverse grows, I may consider switching to Active. But for now, I like New.
You may also consider Top Day.
I feel like top of the day only works right as you start your day but after that it just shows you the same stuff
In theory I like the idea of Active, but in practice the time weighted sorting doesn’t seem to decay quickly enough.
Lemm.ee has fixed the active tab I think. Check it out to see if it’s different than your experience.
Do you know if they’re just resetting their instance at regular intervals?
Yeah, active and hot are kinda broken, and now devs are really busy trying to fix performance issue, so for some time it’s either New or Top. I usually use New
It’s already been fixed. It just needs to be worked into a stable branched and updated into the instances.
My default is local top day. Then once I go through a few lemmy servers that way I set it to all top day.
