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 ?

New seems best here IMO

New is always the way to sort, anywhere. Relying on someone else’s opinion to guide what you see is like chewing second hand gum.

But I hate the tedium of having to break in my own gum. Or what if the gum wasn’t worth chewing?

One thing you can say about second hand gum is someone thought it was worth chewing.

tongue in cheek, or maybe it’s actually gum.

The instance has just been reset so “active” should be better for the moment.

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!!

:) it’s a pretty good descriptor for me: irreverent, irreligious, enormous ego, habits of creation… It also makes any joke funnier. And people call me God. What’s not to like 😂

My default is local top day. Then once I go through a few lemmy servers that way I set it to all top day.
