I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that’s like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I’ve already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of “top 16 hours” and “active”?
What do you do when browsing Lemmy? What are some of your strategies to get good shit while being here? Cuz so far if I try and use the front pages I get bored to shit.
The way I get anything barely worth interacting with from the front page is New Comments. Not the best, but better than the other options I discussed.
That or just, instead of interacting with a lot of stuff, interacting deeply with the few things I find that I like.
do you know that link aggregators are used to sift through news and share the relevant/cool/importnat/interesting news of the day? Check out hackernews for example, that’s basically what the person you’re replying to does. You don’t actually need to RSS news sources to get that.
And I have followed news sources in the past. It gets boring pretty fast without 1. other ppl’s input and 2. without any filter for how relevant it is for me or the people who are like me.
