Over the last few days, it seems that filtering by Hot or Active just makes me see the same posts I’ve seen over the last few days (stealing memes meme and $4k fridge).

Filtering by New on Lemmy, however, is not the toxic filth that Reddit is, and generally gets the job done.

Unless I am doing something wrong, Hot and Active seem to not update enough / hide what I’ve already seen. I am doing my Subscribed, about 20 subs.

    top.day isn’t bad if you want some more developed posts with lively comment sections, and I believe it’s guaranteed to rotate every 24h. But yeah, hot is broken on a lot of servers right now (should be fixed in v0.18.0), and active isn’t aging out some of the monster posts that people keep reviving with new comments.

    But yeah, I mostly browse new right now.

      I think when the Hot sort gets fixed, this should also fix Active - since half the reason those threads remain active is that they got frozen in Hot on one instance or another.
