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?
You must log in or register to comment.
I always read subscribed communities by new.
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.
What is Scaled, precious?
Scaled takes smaller communities into account and bumps their posts up so they don’t get buried by posts from larger communities with more engagement.
Edit: here are the descriptions:
Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time.
Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published.
Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communitiesThank you, sounds interesting!
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 use Top 12, only need to check once a day.
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).
I like Top of the last 6 hours. In the Old Place I did Top of the last hour, but it’s a little slower here. If I can’t bear to read the article (too often these days) I can go straight to the comments and there will be some. If I run out of blue posts, or want to catch an unfolding event, I switch to Hot.
All the first comments saying they browse by new… 🤔
I’m a hottie.
Hot, but once a day I check Top-Day
Scaled
Always Top 6 Hours or Top Day. Never hot. Not sure what the deal with hot is, but I agree it feels wrong.
As some other people suggested, I will also add vote to scaled, especually 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.
Scaled. Though your feed will be filled with posts from the same community if that community suddenly started posting lots of posts and is a new one. It happened to me with !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
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 :(Scaled. But I wish there was a way to see all unread posts sorted oldest to newest.
My favorites are
- New or New Comments for Home
- Scaled or Top 6 hours for All
