I haven’t seen a thread on this in a while. I have been going with top day for a while, but it can be hit or miss. Other sorts don’t seem to display as good in terms of balancing quality and quantity. What is your preferred sort for your main feed?
Edit: Realizing that the people who sort new commented before the hot/top/active people, haha
New.
I like to rawdog Lemmy.
I’m a masochist, so I usually do “New”. Lemmy is small enough that I can usually get through most of the new posts in a reasonable amount of time.
That said, if I want to a bit chiller experience, I will use “Scaled” which sometimes bubbles up something I might have missed.
Finally, I will use “Active” if I’m really bored and what to see what most people are engaged with… but that is pretty rare.
Scaled sort usually gives good results.
I switch between New, Hot and Top 6hrs/Day
Hot, then once I’ve read everything switch to Active to check popular posts I missed, then back to Hot and there’s usually some new stuff
