This will be great advice in a couple days when everyone else sees it.

Sorting by top during the last 6 hours is by far the best experience for getting “what’s hot”. It’s not as buggy as hot is, which show months old content.

It doesn't help that we have pinned posts from many communities hogging the top space in many sorting options, without a way to get rid of them.

All.

Sort > top (day, 12, 6, depending on when you browsed last.

Sort -> Top( 1 hour, 6 hour) 🔥

Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.

Could you please include some body text as to why should people know this, and how would that help them? It’s our second rule. Thank you :)

Hot seems broken though. I see lots of posts that are days/weeks old, posts with 1 upvote, posts 20 minutes old with 1 upvote and so on.

Is there a way to not see a post once you have voted on it?

Even though I'm now subscribed to heaps of channels, my feed on 'subscribed - all' only seems to show me posts from the same couple of channels even though a couple of those channels are way less active then many others I have.

Anyone have the same experience/tips - doesn't matter whether I set to new or hot

I have my profile set on hot and subscribed.

I had year old posts on my front page yesterday, but today I don’t. I have absolutely no idea why or what I did differently.

Funnily enough, I just switched to sorting by hot for this exact reason and found this post

Somebody tag a developer to make this a new registration tip before everyone just leaves the place because it's "stale"

Thank you! Also do save posts not work? I always seem to get timeouts

I’m using Top Day when browsing All. This way, I don’t miss any of the fresh beany memes.

Also possible on Connect 😏

Sort by hot to see thq hottest 6mo threads.

Question, i used to browse only r/all on reddit. Now on memmy app i go to feed press in upper right all and then browse. Do i only see posts from my “world”?

I recently switched to sorting by New, which sounds insane coming from Reddit, but Lemmy is much smaller right now, and New is actually viable and interesting.

I'm sure with more growth that will change, but it's definitely kept my feed fresher and more interesting than either Active or Hot.

(This does of course assume that you're subscribed to a reasonable number of communities you're interested in.)

Bruh I'm sorting by new and I still see the same posts. There's just not that much activity.

Change to subscribed
On KBin the default view is similar to /r/all this can be changed to limit your view to only magazines/communities you are subscribed to by going:

• Select your account name in top right corner
• Select 'Settings' from the account context menu
• Select 'Subscription' from the 'Homepage' drop down
• Select 'Save' on the settings page

This will change your default URL to https://<insance url>/sub (e.g. https://kbin.social/sub). This will change your feed to the top/newest/hottest from your subscribed magazines/communities.

Time Filter
If you look at the KBin screen, you will notice a filter by time option. Look for the navigation bar with hottest/newest/etc.. on it on that bar is a upwards arrow and 4 lines representing a triangle (its normally used as a sort symbol). That will let you set time limits similar to those mentioned in this post (e.g. 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 1t (is 1 week).

Microblogs
Its also worth looking at the 'microblogs' feature under /sub as that will focus on mastodon messages/kbin microblogs with hashtags associated with your magazines/communities.

You can ask KBin to subscribe to people you find through Mastodon, due to the rate changes various twitter users are migrating around. I find KBin a nicer way to read their content.
