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.
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
Subscribed > New. Used to do the same on reddit. I’m spending far less time here though and that’s good for me.
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.
Subscribed/New, as per Reddit. I’ve never used anything else regularly.
always New
Active, then I switch to New once I’m caught up
Before, I use
Active
for my subscriptions, andTop Day
orTop Week
for theAll
feed. Currently, I useScaled
for my subscriptions andAll
feed unchanged (Top Day
orTop Week
). I just like how I can take a peek atAll
and looking at the day’s or week’s top posts while mostly keeping to my subscriptions.I sometimes look at
Top 12 hours
orTop 1 hour
in myAll
feed, but rarely.I love how you organized your message, it helps my ADHD brain read haha
All Active, blocking communities and instances I don’t like.
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.
Oh yea
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.
