PSA: Sort by New in smaller communities to avoid only seeing the same old posts. (lemmy.world)

I've noticed that most communities mainly show day-old posts with default sorting. Sorting by New or Hot helps with seeing newer posts. Kinda obvious, but I sure didn't realize until trying it out 😅

I like Top/Day and New Comments

New comments is nice. A good mix of new posts and active posts.

but isn't top day SUPER broken for you? like - it's absolutely unusable for me. when i try it gets instantly flooded with new posts such that i often can't scroll fast enough to keep my position. like ... i'm TRYING to use lemmy and really want to but i find the feed so utterly frustrating and no one else seems to have this problem except the friends that aren't using lemmy but have checked for me. tried various browsers... really struggling with this as i can't understand how people manage or the how the devs could let this showstopper continue.

Hmmm, now that I think about it I've only tried in Jerboa. I'll check in the Web browser and report back.

Edit: not seeing any issues like that, how interesting.

it's most noticable when using the all filter also, which I do like. I think lots of folks are using local or subscribed which doesn't highlight the issue quite so much.
