        I would love a hybrid of my subscriptions and top posts. I’m still settling in from Reddit and I’m still to find out what’s out there.

        Getting to grips with how to search for and find communities.

          I just searched for some of the bigger servers, opened the communities tab and subbed every community I found remotely interesting. Was about 2-3h of work.

        Being a smaller platform where the points don’t matter does make the “new” experience more enjoyable.

        I believe that it should be the other way around.

        You have too much life, so you frivolously spend it on Lemmy.

        Those with no life don’t have time for their own interests and hobbies.

        That aside, understandable, have a good day.

      I like how people without any prompt all came to the same conclusion.

    The only thing I see now are memes. That’s what I dislike currently about Lemmy. People aren’t active in other communities most of the time. I am not here to enjoy a instagram-like feed, I am here to read and discuss, like in the forums.

      This is one thing that Lemmy REALLY needs to work on. The hobby- and topic-specific communities need to grow. Lemmy is currently dominated by like 5-10 communities, which is fine, but it really falls short of the experience I had on Reddit in that regard.

      I am pretty excited to slowly repost all my old content here over the course of several months to reap all those fake internet points again. It isn’t reposting if it is a new website.

    My Fediverse experience became exponentially superior once I learned that the default sorting options were a bit shite compared to the alternatives.

    I’m still not sure what’s the difference between Hot and Active. ELI5, anybody?

    I wish Hot had a bit less post decay, it would be close to perfect then. Active doesn’t surface new posts often enough for me

    When you sort by hot in public and scroll past hardcore porn in public.

        I’m the kind of person thats comfortable with scrolling past hardcore porn on a crowded bus. I’m not a religious man, it’s just nature taking it’s course.

            In the city worst things than that have happened and no one bats an eye. I’ve seen a homeless man wash his junk in the quick trip sink. I’ve seen a crate of homemade molotov cocktails just setting on the front porch. I’ve witnessed someone pull a gun out on someone else just for honking in traffic.

                Idk, I don’t know why it’s a problem for you and I don’t really care. I’m kinda bored of the subject anyway.😁

                  Nah, dont worry about it, its no problem. Just pointed out that i thought it was kinda random. If yah wanna keep talking then i can hear ya. Cities can be kinda wild sometimes. The one im at right now has had wild shit happened like bombings on multiple gas stations in the same day. A bridge was taken by the river with people on it and i once took a buss and it ran over a biker in a motorcicle.

        Ok I came back ! It’s truly a life changing trick, approved. I’ve also experimented with top 12h, and it’s giving me good results too. Maybe switching to 24h in the future.

    I swap between top 24/12/6 depending on how long I’m away.

    6 gets shitty because you start getting the random porn pretty quickly.

      I assume you’re just joking, but does that feature even exist in any Lemmy clients? Seems like the number of servers that don’t allow downvotes would make it useless anyway.

        This is something that could be added to a client some day even if it won’t work on some instances. I’d use it on occasion.

          It wouldn’t work on posts with more than 50 comments, unfortunately. That’s something the back-end has to offer.

          … unless the client decides to proxy all calls and make its own aggregate…
