Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)

Sort by topday since Hot is usually showing posts from 3 days ago

I prefer New Comments. Keeps the feed fresh with a good balance of new posts and active posts.

I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.

When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?

TopDay works best for me atm, Hot sometimes keeps posts that are days or at most a week old at the top of my feed

It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I’m browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.

Maybe I’m not subscribed to enough communities, but New is what works for me. Hot and Active are always stale.

It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts

Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can’t browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.

LPT: if you want, you can change your default sort settings. Click on your profile in the top right corner > settings > type and sort type.

I sort new as there isn’t enough posts to justify going for hot.
