What is your preferred method of sorting posts? (lemmy.one)

Hi all. New user as of yesterday (reddit refugee). Am playing around between the lemmy.one site and the Jerboa app. I have subscribed to a bunch of communities to get a feel for what is available through Lemmy.

How do you prefer to sort posts? All, subbed, local? Newest, active, new comments, etc.? I am trying to find a more efficient way of viewing posts I am more likely to have interest in and/or communities in which to participate.

Just looking for ideas from others in how they best utilize this platform.

Thanks

My advice is that you sort by new and choose "all" instances. This is the best strategy if you expect to check out the site reasonably often.

Edit: welcome, btw!

On reddit, I have always started with my normal front page, which here would be "Subscribed" and eventually migrated to /r/all ("All") if I get through a few pages of my subscribed feed. I imagine it will be the same here.

As for activity sorting, I think "hot" is really the secret sauce in a community even 1/10th the size of reddit today, but as small as Lemmy is right now I think new is probably going to be the way to go for a while.

this is tailored by me being an admin specifically, so i don't know that i'd recommend it for average users but: i sort by active for posts and new for comments. i only use Beehaw wrt Lemmy (this is enough to handle, lol), so i don't use the local or all tabs in any way
