So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.
Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)
Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago
Depends on the instance. There was a bug that made hot stale, but several instances have fixed it. Hot gives me fresh results in lemmy.world. The only issue is the algorithm still needs work. It is closer to “rising” and has a tendency to bury posts on small communities.
I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.
When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?
It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts
It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I’m browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.
