Active seems to show the posts that people are commenting on, whereas Hot seems to be better for showing newer content.

Having the same problem, but I think I read somewhere they are working on fixing it?
Because it keeps resetting to Active and Local after a while, so I also keep seeing the same posts.
There's also an option in your profile options that changes your default sort
At least for me, that option doesn't seem to work most of the time.
Top Day, New, Active
just got remined to sort by new, so new now.
Thank you - also "new", as of now!
Iβve been primarily sorting by new. While on other sites I donβt like sorting by new because youβll see 90% low-quality posts, Lemmy is small and passionate enough that nearly all posts will be good quality.
All and local have been pretty... Bad for me.
I don't hate having fun or memes or NSFW or whatever, but that's not what I'm looking at right now. So I'd like to just hide some communities from my view.
I never used all/popular on Reddit, but Lemmy is small enough to do so. I'd just like to avoid some things.
mine is: subscribed + new comment.
subscribed because I can control what I saw on homepage and new comment because "new comment" not only include old post with new comment, but also freshly created post.
I always sort new, check subscribed first and all second. Sometimes I check all and active. I keep adding communities as I find them, so I'm sure at some point I'll be fine with just subscribed new.
