I still haven’t decided on whether top, hot or scaled is the best sort. I feel like all of them feels “wrong” somehow. Any ideas?

    I went by scaled on my previous instance because I enjoy seeing small communities posts as well and they easily drown otherwise.
    However piefed doesn’t have that sorting :(

    As some other people suggested, I can also add vote to scaled, especially on subscribed communities.

    I don’t spend that much time on lemmy and smaller communities don’t get attention in my feed otherwise. With scaled they pop up pretty often.

    I do All - Scaled. I’ll switch to New if I feel like I’m seeing a lot of repeat content. I’ve had to block a few bots (the reddit reposters are particularly egregious) and communities I don’t really care for.

    So far scaled seems nice to get the little ones higher up. AFAIK you can’t pre-make custom lists as some communities are perhaps more fun if you go for newest (comments) but then the small ones might get lost in the chaos.

    Ideally, I would set scaled top 6-hours or something?

    All, Top 6 hours. Keeps me fairly up on things. If I feel like I’m hitting the same stuff, I’ll switch to Hot or Active.

      I just wish it would prioritize the top from the last 6 hours while showing older stuff below. Because slower communities feel dead when you visit and see no posts (even if there was one seven hours ago).

        See, if I had any kind of self-control, that would work out great! But…

      This is how I do it but be aware voting through this method leads to shitty mods banning you under the pretence of drive by voting. Doesn’t stop me but just FYI.

          Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs comm and it has no weight in the decision.

          For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.

              For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.

            Funnily enough I was just banned and blocked by a mod when I commented on a post mentioning that they’ve accidentally reposted an image they’ve already submitted. Kind of surprised since I recognized the username and thought they were decent enough as a user.

          I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.

      Ayy, this is the way (and once you view enough you switch to hot and then to active, then you exit and return in ~40seconds and start over)

    Subscribed and top 12 hours is what I’ve been going by for about a year now. After I’ve scrolled through that I switch to “all” from which I’ve blocked all the communities I’m not interested about.

    Scaled was a game-changer for me.

    I use scaled on web. Voyager can remember your sorts for different communities. I typically to use new for smaller communities and scaled for larger ones and the home feed.
