Out of curiosity, what content are you looking for? Discovery on Lemmy can be a problem, but sometimes the communities are there and even active, just buried.

But may I also suggest searching by Top Day/12-hour/6-hour to see the most active posts. Lemmy's scaled algorithm still doesn't get it quite right IMO.

Scaled is intentionally promoting communities with fewer subscribers. It's intentionally demoting the most active posts bt demoting any posts from the communities with more subscribers.

Scaled is amazing for the Subscribed feed, because I'm (obviously) interested in the small communities that I'm subscribed to. But it's not quite the same when browsing All or Local. Usually I do stick to Subscribed though.

[–] ericjmorey@discuss.online 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is my way too. But I default to new and switch to scaled and top-x from time to time.

I also like the New Comments sort (forums style), I have a widget on my phone's home screen showing Subscribed - New Comments

Just.. content. I open my Lemmy app once and I've seen everything it will show me for the day, or sometimes for multiple days. I open reddit and I can scroll for hours.

If all you want is "content" you can browse Lemmy by /all, sort by new, and also scroll for hours. That isn't how I use Lemmy (or Reddit) though, and it's not how I would recommend using it.

I open my Lemmy app once and I've seen everything it will show me for the day, or sometimes for multiple days.

I almost exclusively browse by subscribed. When I first came to Lemmy, I kept subscribing to communities until I had too much content in my subscribed feed to keep up with. Over time, I've gradually unsubscribed to communities I'm only tangentially interested in, as communities for my main interests have grown.

Do you think an approach like this would work for you?

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. I already sort by all, and new is generally too low quality and frankly still too slow. I also switch to all on Reddit once I've skimmed over the first couple pages of my feed

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Maybe Top of the day / Top of 12 hours? New can be low quality indeed
