I only use new to “refresh” my list of filtered content:

  • AI generated images
  • The bazillion of RSS bots that host no discussions and just post 5 threads in a row
  • Non-English content that I can’t read anyway (not their problem obviously)
  • Porn
  • Thirsty anime models
  • I probably forgot some more content I’m not interested in

Do you use “new” for anything specific?

edit: I listed “spam” in the title originally, I felt this was unfair

    I found this post using active and basically missed the conversation, so use new if you want to actually engage with the fellow lemms.

      This is the exact problem. If you don’t get into the conversation right away. Nothing you say will be heard
