    “New” because within 30s of browsing “hot” I reach the post from the day before that I’ve already seen. There’s just not enough content here on Lemmy

    My default sort is new since a majority of the posts in my feed are news articles and I like to see them as they happen.

    My other method is scaled so that I can make sure I see what’s rising/popular in a balanced way so that I also see the smaller communities contributions.

    On my Hexbear account, New and Local, on Lemmy.ml New and Active, usually Local. There’s enough content but not too much when sorting that way.

    New, it let’s me read the articles that communities downvote because they don’t like the facts of the article.

    I browse hot all most of the time and new all the rest of the time.

    I recently switched to “new comments”. That ensures I get a healthy mix of new and old, and get to see as many different threads as I can.

    Depends on where I’m scrolling and how long.

    In a specific community? Usually sorted by ‘new’.

    ‘Subscribed’/‘All’ feeds? Generally starting with ‘Hot’ then moving to ‘new’ if I start to run into a bunch of content I’ve already seen.

    I like hot.

    What I seem to miss is that there is a controversial sort, but not a controversial sort with a time range like there is for top. When a big event happened on that other site I would check out “controversial - last day” to see what the dissenting narrative was

    Subscribed - Scaled, followed by Subscribed - New, followed by All - Scaled

    Though I’m currently testing out Quiblr, to see how its custom feed works for me.
