I’ve used “hot” for a long while but recently changed to “active”. I honestly can’t say the difference between them.
Subscribed / New
What happened to Top - 6 hours?
That’s what I use.
Subscribed > New. Used to do the same on reddit. I’m spending far less time here though and that’s good for me.
Right now I use all/new as I build my subscribe and block list. Eventually I will use subscribed/scaled
I should probably learn with you and start blocking people, but I don’t see many things that trigger the need being on Beehaw
Once you block the painful, overly political communities, the million ten girl manga porn communities, and the relentless trans subs, you get a pretty good feed when subscribing by new for all. Just have to bite the bullet, and cull what’s not right for you personally.
I dislike that there isn’t another option like “don’t show me this on the front page” or something. Blocking sounds too strong for me, haha
This has worked really well for me
Subscribed/New then All/New after I am caught up.
All/new is pretty brave.
To be fair, when I do All/Hot it is not much different than New. But yeah there is some wild stuff there.
always New
Before, I use
Activefor my subscriptions, andTop DayorTop Weekfor theAllfeed. Currently, I useScaledfor my subscriptions andAllfeed unchanged (Top DayorTop Week). I just like how I can take a peek atAlland looking at the day’s or week’s top posts while mostly keeping to my subscriptions.I sometimes look at
Top 12 hoursorTop 1 hourin myAllfeed, but rarely.I love how you organized your message, it helps my ADHD brain read haha
Subscribed/New, as per Reddit. I’ve never used anything else regularly.
Active, then I switch to New once I’m caught up
Subscribed hot for posts and top for comments
I start with Subscribed/Active to get my fix for the content I want to see, and then Subscribed/New to contribute comments that aren’t parroting what others have already said.
All Active, blocking communities and instances I don’t like.
I either select “All” or “Local” on occasion and don’t really pay attention to how those categories are filtered. The main challenge I see right now is that there is a lot of content not available or translated in English which leads me to blocking communities that otherwise have interesting and valuable discussion.
Plus there are challenges with figuring out how to find stuff that is new and insightful besides the regular defaults on the feed but perhaps part of that is simply because of not posting enough and being part of the experience.
I use last 6 hours… :)
