With so many filters: active, hot, scaled, top, new, old, controversial, comments, replies which one do you prefer to browse lemmy with? and do you only read your subscribed sublemmies or globally? Maybe you even use rss
With Summit on Android > browse /all > ignore communities/instances I’m not interested in.
RSS feeds and then Ironfox or Jerboa depending on whether I want to use Firefox addons.
Sometimes Lemmy posts even appear inconstently in hashtag RSS feeds on Mastodon and its forks. It seems like it should be entirely possible for there to be cross-posting to Lemmy by @ing a community, but it isn’t consistent, and sometimes a bug occurs where if person B replies to person A and person C replies to B, A won’t see C’s comment.
Ideally I would just like to interact with this community through microblogging. This is what app the apps and forks e.g. mbin miss. The platforms should be the same
All + Active and Subscriptions + Scaled
All, new
I need content
As I scroll All I just block the communities that I don’t want to see, usually German communities because I don’t know their language and a lottt of porn communities I don’t need to see that on Lemmy when I have google/duckduckgo
usually German communities because I don’t know their language
I don’t browse All, but have you tried tweaking your language settings?
I just did a deep dive into my settings but couldn’t find a language preference. I guess I can find common German words and add that to my blocked words filter. They will join Trump and Elon on the blocked list
Which front end? On the normal Lemmy-UI website it’s below your avatar image setting, and above your theme choice
I use rocket to view Lemmy most of the time. I see I can block nsfw posts. Maybe I should try it on my desktop later
Subscribed/scaled: this way c/Linux doesn’t drown out the rest of my subscribed.
When I’m bored and run out of stuff to see, all/active. When I’m really bored but can’t be bothered to go to anything productive, all/new.
Subscribed, new.
Also local, new and scaled.
Subscribed/Scaled, mixed with occasionally keeping an eye on Local/New (as I’m on a small instance).
I never ever touch /all.
Subscribed+Scaled
ensures that I see posts from the small communities that I’m interested in
All, Top Six Hours, Scroll till I reach around 25 upvotes, do this potentially twice a day more often only ounce.
high
I have an alt for that so I don’t spiral from the worldnews communities
I have a lot of stuff blocked on here for my own health otherwise that spiral says “hello!”
Ayy brother 🍁
Local, Active. Though it doesn’t actually change much between local and all, I don’t know why I go with local so much
All, top 6 hours
Subscribed, hot
I’m surprised this is not more popular.
I usually use subscribed and local, but I have notifications enabled for a bunch of feeds so I get new threads from those communities.
Note: I am on Piefed which has more options here.
All hot or all active depending on whether or not I feel like commenting much
