I personelly sort top day All which hits the sweet spot of getting still active posts with aldready some activities and it is neither too old or too new. I think it also covers the categories such as hot and active.
all/topsixhours
Scaled Subscribed
I never understood how scaled work
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities
So Active looks at the most recent comment, How looks at the post date, and scaled looks at posts but also boosts the less active communities so they don’t get buried
Ahh got it i am going to sort scale now to support those communities
New FTW
top 12 hour, then if i feel ive gotten deep, by nee

‘Scaled’ sounds interesting, though I don’t currently see it on lemmy.world web interface.
All - New Comments
I switch it around every once in a while when I’ve seen too many similar posts.
Same. Unlike Reddit there’s not too much content to stay on top of it. It’s nice.
I sort by new, subscribed by default, for my mindless scrolling when I open randomly throughout the day. Then in the evenings I saw switch to top day, all for finding interesting convos and new communities.
New local. Once that is exhausted new all.
I’ll do my All New duty every so often to upvote potentially interesting stuff. There’s a lot of crap to wade through, so I hope it helps.
Subscribed|New pretty much all the time.
Subscribed Scaled
I’m subscribed to a LOT of different communities so I usually don’t run out of content
I have run out of posts from Top day all several times you just need to be a lemmy junkie
Active
Subscribed - New comments
Once that is done I go to All - Top of the day or 12 hours
@THE_MASTERMIND I start with Moderated New. Then Settings Reports.
Then I typically sort Subscribed Hot, Subscribed New, then All Hot.
If I’m trying to find more things to sub to I will look at All New.
Lemmy has gotten much slower, so I can get through all the new posts in the morning in 30m or so.
All, new messages, hot, they kinda all meld together when there isn’t that much activity.
