Yep, top 6 And new.

The problem with new is that there are never any comments

Yeah, I’ve had the best experience with top 6 hours for all. Blocked a couple communities but not as many as I would’ve thought.

I’ve been browsing All -> New

I’ve been blocking communities or instances I don’t want to see. It took a day or two but now I’m discovering some great communities all the time. As my community list grows, I’ll eventually swap to my subscribed feed.

I mostly use kbin; how do you block communities or instances in lemmy? I didn’t see an obvious way to do this, but I am often oblivious so that’s not as conclusive as I’d wish it to be, haha

In Lemmy, there should be a button on the sidebar for communities. You can’t block instances (yet)

Oh, that button is (correctly) hidden if you’ve joined the community, haha

I’ve been using Connect on Android because it supports keyword filters (musk and reddit alone make my feed much more tolerable) and instance blocking. Was using Jerboa since coming over early June but switched the other day when I read someone mentioning its filtering capabilities.

It’s decent overall, but supreme in eliminating musk spam and lemmynsfw from your All feeds.

I was able to block instances with Connect. Currently using the Sync for Lemmy internal beta and that functionality hasn’t been added in yet.

With Connect, it was as simple of clicking on the overflow menu and hitting block community or block instance. Worked like a charm!

I flip between mobile and desktop too much to rely on any app-specific features. I do have connect but I usually just go to the webpage even on my phone.

Hot is generally broken, I use top 6 hours to get new posts that actually have comments.

I’ve been wondering if Hot is broken for everybody. For my subscribed page it shows 7 month old posts with no comments on the first page… makes no sense.

It shouldn’t be THAT broken, however, broke it absolutely is and there was even some github issues on the matter.

Apparently a side effect of lemmy.world going into maintenance so often is that the hot sort refreshes itself a bit.

Subscribed New is my default

I think “Active” is a great default sort for the exact reason you describe, that posts are a lot “stickier” on Lemmy than they were on reddit and you always get good conversation there even days after the post.

Also, it means that we get memes out of our systems way faster, nobody is even talking about the can of beans after day 2.

No Stupid Questions

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Create post

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

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

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

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

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
