Hi all. New user as of yesterday (reddit refugee). Am playing around between the lemmy.one site and the Jerboa app. I have subscribed to a bunch of communities to get a feel for what is available through Lemmy.
How do you prefer to sort posts? All, subbed, local? Newest, active, new comments, etc.? I am trying to find a more efficient way of viewing posts I am more likely to have interest in and/or communities in which to participate.
Just looking for ideas from others in how they best utilize this platform.
Thanks
You must log in or # to comment.
My advice is that you sort by new and choose “all” instances. This is the best strategy if you expect to check out the site reasonably often.
Edit: welcome, btw!
On reddit, I have always started with my normal front page, which here would be “Subscribed” and eventually migrated to /r/all (“All”) if I get through a few pages of my subscribed feed. I imagine it will be the same here.
As for activity sorting, I think “hot” is really the secret sauce in a community even 1/10th the size of reddit today, but as small as Lemmy is right now I think new is probably going to be the way to go for a while.
this is tailored by me being an admin specifically, so i don’t know that i’d recommend it for average users but: i sort by active for posts and new for comments. i only use Beehaw wrt Lemmy (this is enough to handle, lol), so i don’t use the local or all tabs in any way
