YSK: Sorting by 'Hot' instead of 'Active' will show more diverse content on Lemmy - eviltoast

I’ve seen a few mentions of people feeling like they’re constantly seeing the same content when sorting by active, I’ve since moved to hot, and I’m having a much better time.

    I always sort by All and New. In fact it’s my default feed setting on my Liftoff app.

        Yeah, I do this alongside sorting by Hot, switching between the two frequently.

            No, I’m aware blocking and hiding. I don’t mind it too much. Reminds me the usa is not the center of the universe and usually they slow down or get blocked by my instance since they’re bots. I haven’t had to block or hide yet.

      But sometimes you get a lot of posts in foreign languages. But at least you get to discover new communities and re-emerging ones that come over from Reddit.
