I know there are plenty of fixes coming in the next version of Lemmy, and maybe some of these sorting issues will be....ahem....sorted out with that.

Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.
I've done that, but my new feed, maybe it's a difference in which communities we follow, but my communities' New are not top quality but very eh.
First, this isn't reddit, sort by Subscribed / New.
Second, subscribe to stuff and don't be afraid to subscribe at the same time to smaller communities on other instances. Yes, you cannot group them by topic Yetβ’, but it's on the road map.
Following up:
Third: Don't lurk! We need content here. Be a contributor, and don't worry about what people think. Sieze your moment, and cry, "FIRST! I posted that here."
Bruh you're talking to God@sh.itjust.works. He couldn't lurk if he were paid a million bucks to do so. This dude has shit to say.

Man you got almost 500 comments and 50 posts in 10 days. And you're funny. You're putting me to shame and I've really been trying.
Btw you ever watch My Mister?
I haven't but if you say it's good i'll watch it. It's on my recommended list sometimes but there's just so much in it that it's not owo. brb someone prayed for me
Youβre putting me to shame and Iβve really been trying.

well i didn't know it was hard, maybe i'm just a shitposter cuz i don't think about it much, i just go for it, and i try not to leave any comment unanswered, even if the answer is only partial. i do have some training in shitpostery. It was at the shitposter special forces on steemit.com where you got money for shitposting a shitton. I guess I kept the habit of never shutting up cuz that's what brings dem monies over there.
Lmao hey man, whatever works. Sh.itpost away if it's stimulating engagement on this platform. We gotta get to at least a million users before I start to relax and feel like Lemmy is here to stay
I didn't vote for him.
you voted with your silence!!!! i am the ruler of all, why didn't you say anything 1 quintillion years ago when i declared myself king of existence? now it is too late, you should've spoken up, this is a democracy after all π₯°
Sigh. Shem, bubby... I was there too.
I just realized that this post was 16 days ago...
Same
Lmao some smaller instances still have fucked front pages but the bigger ones are solved already. You're gonna have to either find a strat that works for you or move around to test stuff.
Isn't it just that the hot algorithm freezes and stops updating? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I'm on kbin and the hot sorting works and it's great for checking a few times a day since it actually updates
I use this URL in a bookmark:
https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/Subscribed/sort/New/page/1
This gives me new posts from my subscribed communities sorted by creation date.
Sort by new is still pretty good right now.
It's a bug, the admin of https://lemm.ee/ has fixed it on their instance. It will probably be fixed for everyone on the next release.
More info -> https://lemm.ee/comment/118526
Sort by either new or top today
If youβre feeling adventurous select all and sort by new/top today
All>new is my fav so far. Lots of stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Maybe it's the communities you're subscribed to. Personally, my front page is pretty filled. Take a look at https://lemmyverse.net/ to see communities from other instances.
What do you sort by? I'm already following around 40 communities. Maybe it is indeed which communities I follow and maybe I do need to follow more. I'll follow your advice and try to fill it up way more and see if that makes a difference (apart from making New an unreadable mess of fast-scrolling titles)
I have been sorting by "new comments." which is solid.
Also occaisonally just sorting by new
Lemmy can be sorted by new pretty safely, unlike reddit where you're gonna see some cursed shit sorting all by new
I just realized you're on the sh.itjust.works instance, which was defederated from Beehaw so that also doesn't help.
Reference: https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Beehaw blocked shitjustworks, but not in reverse. I can still see posts from Beehaw, but they won't be able to see our posts, replies, etc.
