I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that's like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I've already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of "top 16 hours" and "active"?

What do you do when browsing Lemmy? What are some of your strategies to get good shit while being here? Cuz so far if I try and use the front pages I get bored to shit.

The way I get anything barely worth interacting with from the front page is New Comments. Not the best, but better than the other options I discussed.

That or just, instead of interacting with a lot of stuff, interacting deeply with the few things I find that I like.

Lmao some smaller instances still have fucked front pages but the bigger ones are solved already. You're gonna have to either find a strat that works for you or move around to test stuff.

Sort by either new or top today

If you’re feeling adventurous select all and sort by new/top today

All>new is my fav so far. Lots of stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise.
