I only use new to “refresh” my list of filtered content:
- AI generated images
- The bazillion of RSS bots that host no discussions and just post 5 threads in a row
- Non-English content that I can’t read anyway (not their problem obviously)
- Porn
- Thirsty anime models
- I probably forgot some more content I’m not interested in
Do you use “new” for anything specific?
edit: I listed “spam” in the title originally, I felt this was unfair
I sort by new for my subscribed mainly. Sometimes I sort by active just out of curiosity.
I always sort by New, but I also only use Subscribed, rather than All. So it’s an up to date list of topics in my curated interest areas.
I like to catch posts before they’re popular. Say some silly goose shit in the comments first and either be downvoted to hell or praised to the heavens.
I only browse by new because I’ve already seen what’s old.
I found this post using active and basically missed the conversation, so use new if you want to actually engage with the fellow lemms.
This is the exact problem. If you don’t get into the conversation right away. Nothing you say will be heard
I’m tempted to not reply and validate your statement.
Lol
I only sort by new for my subscribed feeds. I feel it works really well there. I rarely go so all or anything like that. Too much unwanted stuff for me personally.
Be Bold. Sort by new and brave the shitstorm. That’s the only way to do Lemmy.
I use “New comments” to follow up on conversations
