Asklemmy

I’ve found myself switching to New because of the much smaller community size. I’d like to participate more than I have in other places. If I wasn’t doing that, I’d use Active to see what others are saying.

I've mostly been using new and top of the last hour or 6 hours

I'm currently sorting on new and trying to contribute on topics that interest me.

I'm using Top 6 Hours since I'm trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.

Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn't feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.

I primarily sort by New, but there’s actually so much new content lately that I miss things that way. Memmy added Top 6 Hours, which I’m also using now - I like it better than Top Day, as it keeps me from seeing top posts I already saw in the morning when I browse at night, and vice versa.

When I used Reddit, I primarily visited subreddits individually - I might start doing that for the smaller lemmy communities that I want to make sure I don’t miss any posts on, too.

New or top day

New

I generally stick to Subscribed sorted by Top Hour, Top 6 Hours, Top 12 Hours, then do the same for All. I don't get much out of sorting by Hot since I'm usually more interested to read fresh posts with less active engagement.

Subscribed/New.

I haven't seen any way to hide read posts on either the browser version or on Connect for Lemmy. Is there a service that has that feature or maybe I'll just missing something?

I still mostly use Hot, but sometimes switch to New

Top hour and top 6 hours are my goto options at

New Comment or New. It keeps my timeline mostly fresh.
