    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. :)

      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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

      The real LPT is always in the comments!

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