I doomscroll all till I realise it's not my subscribed feed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Subscribed and if I want more after that then I go check all too but that basically means subscribed + memes as I have blocked around 400 communities that I'm not interested about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

All. If I scroll too far and the blurry thumbnails appear more frequently, I know I need to stop scrolling for that day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Subscribed and every so often I search for new communities to follow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Usually just all sorted by new

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

it does depend. if i'm picking fights, i view comments by new in my subs. if i'm trying to mindlessly scroll, i view all.

Both. That's what I like about it. If I viewed all on Reddit it could be boring but Lemmy is interesting both ways.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

All top 6 hours or subscribed scaled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Subscribed, although there isn't much content so I'm trying to find posts on other places.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Subscribed, then specific communities by url (since sometimes smaller community posts don't show up on the frontpage), then All if I'm really bored.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Subscribed, and when I soon run out of content I switch to all.

I dislike Reddit as much as anyone here but god do I miss the sheer amount of content.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Both, subsribed on new und all on active

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

All. I find new communities all the time!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

First Subscribed sorted by new, the all by Top X.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All, same reasons as others, not enough active communities with my specific interests, the all feed is good though :)

That's how I used reddit too for many years, took a long time to curate subs, I hope a similar thing can come about in Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Local New first, once that is exhausted I view All New.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All - Top - 6 Hours

If I'm feeling cheeky I'll browse hot or sometimes even Scaled

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Usually All. I started that way to find more communities to sub but then got in the habit. Even with a healthy list of subs I still feel a bit limited on subscribed, see more activity on all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I view all, sorted by Newest Comment and then sort the comments by New. I really only subscribe to things to get them federated with my instance (so many communities on other instances, I am literally the only one on my own instance subscribed to them so they don't show up on my feed at all before I find them) and to be able to quickly see a specific community by itself, if I so desire.

I've curated enough active communities to just browse Home every few hours. But if I'm curious, I browse All on occasion.

Both are set to Rising, and All excludes all subscribed communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Subscribed - Hot is how I generally browse but I also check All - Top 12 Hours and All - New from time to time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All new lol. I look at subscribed after I get sick of all.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Viewing all is always a bad idea.
