“New” because within 30s of browsing “hot” I reach the post from the day before that I’ve already seen. There’s just not enough content here on Lemmy

My default sort is new since a majority of the posts in my feed are news articles and I like to see them as they happen.

My other method is scaled so that I can make sure I see what’s rising/popular in a balanced way so that I also see the smaller communities contributions.

New.

On my Hexbear account, New and Local, on Lemmy.ml New and Active, usually Local. There’s enough content but not too much when sorting that way.

New, it let’s me read the articles that communities downvote because they don’t like the facts of the article.

I keep it on new.

I recently switched to “new comments”. That ensures I get a healthy mix of new and old, and get to see as many different threads as I can.

New local till I hit the end, after that new all.

Subscribed - Scaled, followed by Subscribed - New, followed by All - Scaled

Though I’m currently testing out Quiblr, to see how its custom feed works for me.

I browse hot all most of the time and new all the rest of the time.
