I’m asking new joiners because I know it can be confusing at first to see issues with content discoverability, instances unavailability, people migrating accounts, etc.

It’s been pretty good. I have noticed the default sort order (‘Active’) results in the feed getting stale pretty quickly. Changing the default to ‘New’ has been a better experience so far, at least at the current level of activity.
I have had a few issues subscribing to communities on remote instances (i.e. not showing up in search, or showing up but with an empty feed when content definitely exists when I check the web UI) - this does not appear to be an SFW/NSFW issue, and some communities from the same remote instances appear correctly.
Hard to tell if this is an instance/protocol issue, or an app issue.
Not sure if Sync allows it, but default sorting to top/6 hours has given me the most enjoyable experience of cycling content so far
It does! Settings shortcut: Post options > Default post sort
It’s not an app issue, you’ll notice the same behavior in any Lemmy client. Once you’re subscribed successfully, new content should be coming in normally unless, again, there is an instance/federation issue.
That happens if no-one on your instance has subscribed to that community - search for the address with ! at the start and refresh the page if 8tbis blank or shows and error, this should force it through for you.
This is one of the more confusing and frustrating aspects to Lemmy and they are working to improve it
There is this tool that can be used to address that issue, you have to ask your admin to run it:

I wonder if there could be a way to combine Active and Top x Hr
IMO Top remains the best way to browse, but you get the same results pretty quickly. Blending in Active in the mix would have diversity
