Why YSK:” So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.
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?
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.
Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can’t browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.
Temp fix: Set page to 0 instead of 1 - https://lemmy.world/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/0. This stops the feed from auto updating
Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago
Depends on the instance. There was a bug that made hot stale, but several instances have fixed it. Hot gives me fresh results in lemmy.world. The only issue is the algorithm still needs work. It is closer to “rising” and has a tendency to bury posts on small communities.
