Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)

Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago

When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?

I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.

It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I’m browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.

LPT: if you want, you can change your default sort settings. Click on your profile in the top right corner > settings > type and sort type.

I prefer New Comments. Keeps the feed fresh with a good balance of new posts and active posts.

TopDay works best for me atm, Hot sometimes keeps posts that are days or at most a week old at the top of my feed

It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts

Maybe I’m not subscribed to enough communities, but New is what works for me. Hot and Active are always stale.

I sort new as there isn’t enough posts to justify going for hot.

Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can’t browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.
