I've been trying New for about a week. In hopes to upvote things from communities I like to improve engagement.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I like that. Thank you for your contribution!
We are all knights of the new.
The Hot sort seems to show new and sligly older content, with an enphasis on new. So I just sort by hot, as the algorithm is pretty good for that.
And mostly on subscribed. All being mostly to discover other things.

@Tibert the fediverse is still small enough that sorting by new all is a good way to discover communities.
Though, that might only work for me because I block the biggest meme communities with this account.
I usually sort by new so someone will actually read and/or respond to my comments lol
All: Top Six Hours
New. Always new. Top is all memes I don't understand. (Totally not hipster lol.)
When I first started Lemmy the general consensus was top 6-hour, so I start with that. When that gets boring I switch to New.
Local New to begin with. After that All New
Dumb question. Is local by server (I’m on lemmy.world) or by location (country).
Server. Since my server is Danish my local feed is Danish, which is nice
Only posts originating from your instance.
So only posts made by people from lemmy.world.
When you post something, the post is on lemmy.world.
For example, this is your post https://lemmy.world/post/7469149 . If you would post to another community, it would still be lemmy.world/post/xxx even if the community isn't on lemmy.world. But the post is attached to that community.
All is all the post from all the communities the accounts in your instance are subscribed to.
I used to do top 12 hours but I only see the biggest communities that way so now I'm on hot
Scaled sort can't come soon enough
Subscriptions: New
I go by New I like to see what's going on as it's going on 😁
After going through Subscribed - new, I switch it to all new.
New. Seems most logical imo.
If its all then i do top: 6hr but i sort individual communities as new
switched from active to new comments i have some regrets but i have fear to change back to active
I start at top of day, then 12 hrs, then 6 hrs, then 1 hr and then new. All, not subscribed, of course. It helps that I'm on a small instance where basically everything is interesting and it's not flooded with posts.
Top six hours for all, new for subscribed and communities.
I check subscribed on top of the day once a day.
Subs: New All: Top 6 hours Or, when I'm feeling adventurous, All: New
Sometimes I want that wild west.
New:Subscribed until I catch up, then New:All to look for new communities to subscribe to.
I get caught up on Subscribed - New and make sure I've seen everything, and then if I'm still bored I'll go to All - Top Day or 12 hour, and then if I've seen most of those I go down to Top 6 hour
It depends on when I looked last time. Mostly Hot is new enough so I didn't see it before but also interesting and no spam. If I look very often then New. If I didn't look for a couple of days then Active.
By RSS. I never see the feed.
Care to elaborate?
Next to the dropdown with sorting options, there are two icons: one is "sorting help", the other is RSS. Copy that link into an RSS reader and you need never look at the feed again. All the "Top" (or whatever) items will get mixed up into a feed of whatever else you're reading by RSS.
Hot/All - I have it set to show NSFW, but I block most of the NSFW subs individually or the people who are just trying to push people to OF. Problem is on old.lemmy, you have to visit the group you want to block if you want to block it. So my history looks like a lot of me going to yiff/gay/rape/incest/torture shit...but there's no button to block it on the mlmym version of lemmy unless I go do the stupid group directly. Author says he implemented this functionality, but it doesn't work in FF.
New.
I always sort Home and New. Then, when I’ve exhausted my feed, I sort All and New.
Always "all" and sorted by the last 12/24 hours. I found that gives the best results, fresh content with decent comments
Newest first, subscribed only, occasionally browse withoutl logging in so I see non-subscribed. Down with The Algorithm(tm).
