'Subscribed - Scaled' to catch up, then 'Subscribed - New' to interact.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Are there any apps that support scaled? I've tried a few and no luck so far. I like the scaled view.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That's the one I use :) I like it. Always a fresh feed every day. I don't view my subscriptions by default though, I view /all with a lot of blocking done over the months.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I usually change to new because

  • I usually get the same post over and over for a long time in my feed
  • not from the USA and I'm sick of the Trump/Harris drama
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I blocked all US news stuff to clear my feed, there are a lot of politics related posts here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Same but with porn. Good lord are people horny for the weirdest things.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Some Lemmy clients offer keyword filtering if you really want to get aggressive about filtering out US election stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I want to control the percentage of stuff each sub shows me. I want to subscribe to news and world news and politics, but then 100% of my feed is politics, despite the fact that 99% of my subscriptions are NOT politically based.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That’s mainly an issue of scale. The niche communities don’t have as much activity day to day so you see that stuff less

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You can set it to not show posts you have already seen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm still waiting for the Harris trump sex tape. The one where Harris has a 12 inch black strapon, and trump cries out in pain.

Then nobody will want for anybody, and I csn nominate myself in the running, vote for myself, and win by 1 vote.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Top (of which there are several)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

All, top 12 or 24 hours.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you aren't sorting by new, you have no backbone and will never please any of the gods of war.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

"any of the gods of war" ?

There is only one god of war Kratos :D

Subscribed - New

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I do it by new, cuz if not my feed stays the same for like a week

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Try subscribing to more things. Theres more to Lemmy than just linux.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Absolutely!

Sometimes it feels like there's Linus and politics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm tryna find as many active subs as a I can. Any suggestions?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, what are your interests/hobbies?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Fiction, crotchet, gardening, hiking, dogs, humor, casual convos. That's sorta thing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Subscribed - New

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

New local first ,once exhausted I jump over to new all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Scaled and then new in a community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

All - New ( nsfw off)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

All - Hot mostly.

New when I have been on for a stretch long enough that it is mostly repeats.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I have everything by New. It’s not populous enough yet that there’s anything I need to skip automatically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Usually in this order

  1. Subscribed - New
  2. All - New
  3. All - Active or Hot (not really sure what the difference is between those two)
  4. All - Top 12 hours
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Everything - Active. There's too many dead posts, and pointless posts to sort by new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

active, controversial, or new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Subscribed + New or Local + Active

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Tend to start with top (day) for my subs and then switch to scaled once I get down to posts that are below 100 upvotes or so to see more posts from smaller communities that can’t make that ‘top’ cut.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Most / New comments

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

All

That's why you can find me pretty much in all of the active spots, once every few days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I've never seen this guy before in my life.
