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

Subscribed | Scaled. But I sometimes change it to Subscribed | Top 12h for new content (but not too new that there's no discussion yet) or even All | Top Day if I want more.

Recently changed to top.

Occasionally you’ll click on an article or photo and there’s a really important explanation or disclaimer as the most-upvoted comment, but you’ll only see that first if you sort by top.

Scaled all the way! I use my subscribed list (All is too much randomness.

Occasionally top 6 or 12 hours to catch up.

And occasionally All New/hot/scaled to see random new shit.
