The problem is currently that by default it shows active posts, and its been the same posts for days now. What options do you use for sorting when doomscrolling to see interesting content?

    I’ve been primarily sorting by new. While on other sites I don’t like sorting by new because you’ll see 90% low-quality posts, Lemmy is small and passionate enough that nearly all posts will be good quality.

      All and local have been pretty… Bad for me.

      I don’t hate having fun or memes or NSFW or whatever, but that’s not what I’m looking at right now. So I’d like to just hide some communities from my view.

      I never used all/popular on Reddit, but Lemmy is small enough to do so. I’d just like to avoid some things.

        That’s 100% valid. I’ve subscribed to a TON of communities already so I spend most of my time looking at new subscribed posts. I could see why the new posts on all would not be ideal.

    mine is: subscribed + new comment.
    subscribed because I can control what I saw on homepage and new comment because “new comment” not only include old post with new comment, but also freshly created post.

      I always sort new, check subscribed first and all second. Sometimes I check all and active. I keep adding communities as I find them, so I’m sure at some point I’ll be fine with just subscribed new.
