The “active” setting really fucks up the order.
Like you are reading a couple of posts, and when you go to the next page, you see the same posts because so many comments are made which put those posts at the top again.
Really want something like “hot for the last 24h” and then ordered by amount of comments in the last 24h.
The issue is that the sorting options are taken literally down to the algorithmic level. They really need to be tweaked to fit better with user expectations

Just use a frontend with infinite scroll
Subscribed New
I do this, and when it runs out i go to All new and regret it immediately.
When it runs out, I switch to Local New.
When it runs out
I can do that?
probably should do that
This.
Subscribed top 6 hrs
Top 12hr, then top 6hr, then top 1hr as the day progresses.
New because I have my own instance and it’s empty as hell
Does that mean you’re not impacted by any defederations and can subscribe to whatever you want?
Yup
Niiice. The entire Fediverse – especially my home instance – has been hitting that defederate button waaay too often lately.
Does this also mean you end up with copies of abusive media on your server?
Presumably it would only be an issue if one of the users in the server accessed it, and there are no other users
Thing is the way it works is, it only federated content from communities an account is subscribed to on that instance. Since there’s only my account, my all is like my subscribed. So it’s pretty empty.
It depends. Lemmy gives you pretty fine control if you put in the effort.
My home instance lemm.ee for example does not cache images from other instances, so any abusive material posted stays there even if viewed by a member of our instance.
New Comments.
Bump btw
I wish there was a controversial, tends to be the funniest
Local New. Going to All or Subscribed is an epic trek to a foreign land to bring home luxurious news and spicy memes.
“New”
“New” is Guts’ sword slicing the table in half

I’m using that as default right fucking now. Thanks.
All, top 6 hours, Blocklist full
Any new communities I see I sub to, but rarely use my subbed feed as it’s still pretty dry.
I don’t have much to contribute.
Top 12 hours
I start with my subscribed top 6 hour, then move to all, and often go to top 1 hour or new because I open Lemmy more than once every 6 hours. Occasionally I’ll head over to active, that’s mostly when I want to read lots of comments
Active is my preferred sort method. It keeps the active discussions at the top, hot I’ll switch to occasionally after I’ve browsed enough of the active feed.
Must of my subscribed communities are small enough that I don’t think top 6 hours is distinct enough from active/hot
Default Hot and then switch to 6 hr if nothing is hitting
All. Active + Hide read.
This is the way. All your threads are belong.
