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!
Bubble sort. It's the only one I really understand and know how to implement.
/s to be sure
Bogo sort. It has a chance to get it right in almost no time.
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.
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.
I could've written this. Same answers, same reasoning. Word for word.
Me too. I feel a little unsettled if i don't get all the way through new by lunch, like i have a bigger task ahead of me after work.
All, Top for the past 6 hours. Sometimes in the morning Iβll switch it to 12 hours to see what I missed overnight and other times the week just to make sure. But I donβt subscribe to anything, give me all the best of Lemmy
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.
I used to use "top 24h" but these days I just sort by "hot" because it actually seems to work pretty well now: I don't see the total garbage that gets down voted immediately like you get with "new" but I see pretty much everything else (which is what I like; I especially like finding interesting posts in obscure communities!).
I also regularly block foreign language communities for no other reason than I can't read them so there's no point in them taking up space in my feed. Like, I'm sure that German meme about Elon Musk is hilarious but since I don't know German it's just noise π€·
Subscribed|Active
I want posts where people are talking u-u
I like it hot
sub: top 12 hours, all: top 6 hours
this somewhat balances out feeds I missed on my subscribed list.
I switch between New, Hot and Top 6hrs/Day
Subscribed, new. Then All, Top 6 hours.
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.
Insertion Sort.
It's easier to remember how to program than quick sort and it's stable (it keeps the previous order for same value data)
Top day until it's stale, then hot.
Top 6 hours, then New, then top 12 hours.
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
Old I like to rehash and let things fester! Actually Hot, then look at Top last 6 hours while reading.
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
- Posts > New
- Comments > Top
good comments are upvoted for a reason and I wanna see those first... before scrolling to the bad takes... haha
new. sometimes i switch to others for a laugh, but new is my default.
Active
I usually use the C standard library qsort function.
Active in my subbed communities and hide read posts, that usually gives me a similar experience that I had with Reddit (and using Boost or Sync for Reddit sometimes makes me forget where I am lol).
Sometimes I sort it to the top 6, 12 or 24 hours though.
Scaled is the default account sort as I find it the best when I am browsing Lemmy on a PC/Lap (which that would be like 1% of my total Lemmy usage, just like Reddit lol).
New most of the time
Hot but I sometimes switch to New
Local new first, then all new.
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 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, top 6 hours.
