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

unironically, your votes have great influence on the fate of posts

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!
