Thats my one complaint about Lemmy. It only gives content for like 3-4 hours. How am I supposed to take a shit for 7 hours at work, with such little content and comments???

I feel like I read every comment on this site. I'm wrong, obviously, but thats how it feels.

I love when people comment. You should comment 400x more everyday. Everyone should! Tell us everything! What's your life story? How was your childhood? Did you have a bully? Did you punch them in the nose? Did you win the science fair? Did you play football? How were your college years? Did you drink 3 bottles of Bacardi 151, and wake up in Michigan in a hotel room filled with 7 lemurs, in a room paid for by Rick Morranis with zero explaination of how you even got to Michigan?

I like the vibe buddy. 💖

That's why I like it actually. It forces me to interact with the community, it's more organic that way, and I need to eventually move in with my life instead of doom scroll. I get to the end and go "well that's the end of the internet for a day or two"

Here I am, sorting by new all the time

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I usually switch to new after scrolling the first 5 or 6 posts. Just too lazy to switch my defaults

I like scaled sort. It sorts posts by popularity relative to the size of the community, so that the feed is a mixture of both popular communities and small ones. It also seems more likely to include newer posts (eg I saw this post in my scaled feed).

Good shout. I'll have a look 💪
