With so many filters: active, hot, scaled, top, new, old, controversial, comments, replies which one do you prefer to browse lemmy with? and do you only read your subscribed sublemmies or globally? Maybe you even use rss
Subscribed/Scaled, mixed with occasionally keeping an eye on Local/New (as I’m on a small instance).
I never ever touch /all.
Subscribed/scaled: this way c/Linux doesn’t drown out the rest of my subscribed.
When I’m bored and run out of stuff to see, all/active. When I’m really bored but can’t be bothered to go to anything productive, all/new.
All, new
I need content
As I scroll All I just block the communities that I don’t want to see, usually German communities because I don’t know their language and a lottt of porn communities I don’t need to see that on Lemmy when I have google/duckduckgo
All, Top Six Hours, Scroll till I reach around 25 upvotes, do this potentially twice a day more often only ounce.
Subscribed, new.
Also local, new and scaled.
Subscribed+Scaled
ensures that I see posts from the small communities that I’m interested in
Local, Active. Though it doesn’t actually change much between local and all, I don’t know why I go with local so much
high
I have an alt for that so I don’t spiral from the worldnews communities
I have a lot of stuff blocked on here for my own health otherwise that spiral says “hello!”
Ayy brother 🍁
All hot or all active depending on whether or not I feel like arguing
All, top 6 hours
Subscribed, hot
I’m surprised this is not more popular.
Boost and ALL, via Piefed
I usually use subscribed and local, but I have notifications enabled for a bunch of feeds so I get new threads from those communities.
Note: I am on Piefed which has more options here.
Using Jerboa, and browsing all by new (firehose style)
Same but Voyager, and I block all of the communities I’m not interested in.
Yep, this is the way. It’s a very pleasant experience.
Usually all by hot, new sometimes. I like seeing what the different communities have to offer. I switch to subscribed if I need a break from politics.
