I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that’s like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I’ve already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of “top 16 hours” and “active”?

What do you do when browsing Lemmy? What are some of your strategies to get good shit while being here? Cuz so far if I try and use the front pages I get bored to shit.

The way I get anything barely worth interacting with from the front page is New Comments. Not the best, but better than the other options I discussed.

That or just, instead of interacting with a lot of stuff, interacting deeply with the few things I find that I like.

    I have 2 issues with hot/active

    1. What I think are new posts suddenly begin filling the top of my feed closing any images I have open and pushing everything down very quickly. This makes both unusable to me.

    2. The algorithm keeps posts that are days old at the top, witch is the opposite of how I would want my regular feed to work.

    However reddit handles hot seems perfect to me, but im open to small changes that will make discovery a little better or to better integrate instances.

      same, that’s why i came here to ask this, i feel that if we can come to a few good ideas we can improve our experience and accept these changes more readily :)
