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.
Been sorting new all my life on reddit and I’ve been using Boost forever so now I use Boost and sort by new. I enjoy not seeing the same shit over and over.
I don’t subscribe to enough communities (yet) to have the luxury of sorting by anything other than “new”, or else I’ll run out of content
Sorting by new is the way to go!
Bubble sort. It’s the only one I really understand and know how to implement.
/s to be sure
Just whatever is the default sort. It’s usually mergesort or quicksort depending on the environment. No way I’m implementing my own
/s
Stochastic sort. I love chaos monkeys.
All, Top for the past 6 hours. Sometimes in the morning I’ll switch it to 12 hours to see what I missed overnight and other times the week just to make sure. But I don’t subscribe to anything, give me all the best of Lemmy
quick sort on random input, insertion sort on almost-sorted inputs
Scaled sort usually gives good results.
I didn’t even know this existed. Is this new?
Kinda, it was only added a couple months ago
It’s new for me!
It’s a great balance between new and hot! You mostly see posts that picked up some interest within the first couple minutes of being posted
Scaled sort on subscribed.
That’s my back up plan after Top 12 hours on Everything gets stale.
Top day until it’s stale, then hot.

Tip 12 Hours works pretty well for me.
I switch between New, Hot and Top 6hrs/Day
I do Active All by default, see what’s popping. After i exhaust that I go by all Hot. I have a lot of communities filtered (mainly porn ones) to clean up my feed even though I also am subscribed to several communities. Lemmy is still small enough where I don’t feel I need to only see my subs.

All, new. It keeps things fresh throughout my workday. I spend most of it on my own, and have a lot of points of 2-5 minute downtime. I end up sitting in the back office and browsing Lemmy pretty often.
All new because there is a lot of shit, different languages & country/place threads that i find interesting.
…and german memes…many, many german memes
New, always.
No point in anything else for the way I prefer to use lemmy.
It also means that I don’t miss much, even when I don’t check in for a day or so. Only things I miss are the ones that get removed.
I’m pretty much always set to all, with hot being good for me most of the time. New and scaled are also nice ways to get some extra variety on slow days. I’ll rarely use active and top if I’ve been away for a while
I sort by subscribed, new. I wish jerboa could auto show posts by oldest.
