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.

    First, this isn’t reddit, sort by Subscribed / New.

    Second, subscribe to stuff and don’t be afraid to subscribe at the same time to smaller communities on other instances. Yes, you cannot group them by topic Yet™, but it’s on the road map.

      Following up:

      Third: Don’t lurk! We need content here. Be a contributor, and don’t worry about what people think. Sieze your moment, and cry, “FIRST! I posted that here.”

        Bruh you’re talking to God@sh.itjust.works. He couldn’t lurk if he were paid a million bucks to do so. This dude has shit to say.
