I haven’t seen a thread on this in a while. I have been going with top day for a while, but it can be hit or miss. Other sorts don’t seem to display as good in terms of balancing quality and quantity. What is your preferred sort for your main feed?

Edit: Realizing that the people who sort new commented before the hot/top/active people, haha

    I used to use “top 24h” but these days I just sort by “hot” because it actually seems to work pretty well now: I don’t see the total garbage that gets down voted immediately like you get with “new” but I see pretty much everything else (which is what I like; I especially like finding interesting posts in obscure communities!).

    I also regularly block foreign language communities for no other reason than I can’t read them so there’s no point in them taking up space in my feed. Like, I’m sure that German meme about Elon Musk is hilarious but since I don’t know German it’s just noise 🤷
