How do you sort your posts in subscribed communities? I’ve been sorting by active, but I keep seeing older stuff that I’ve already seen. Is there a better way to sort?

    I do Top Hour or Top 6 Hours, because commenting on newer posts increases the probability of getting virtual internet points and I love virtual internet points

    All by new. I’m curious to see new stuff, but I’m finding that I’m still interested in the same stuff I was on Reddit, so I’m always contemplating switching to just subbed.

    I flip around between different styles, but the most important thing is having hide read posts active. Without that enabled, there’s just too much old shit that filters up to the top.

      Is there an easy way to mark stuff as read without opening the post + comments? It always kicks me back an extra page when I back out from a post (read post I found on page 3, hit back, end up on page 2), it’d be nice to be able to just clear stuff from page 1 marking it as read so I could dodge this idiosyncracy.

    I sort by Hot if I haven’t logged in for a while. Then when I’ve read through them and looked at everything I want to there, then I sort by New.

    New Comments almost exclusively, but I’m also only subbed to small communities. I sort local the same way for general browsing

    In the main frontpage sort by hot or by top of day. In individual communities, sort by new by default but depending on how many days I’ve been away, I may sort by hot or top of day/week. On communities I mod, I switched between new and new comments to make sure I don’t miss anything. Would be cool to have a controversial option.

    The ability to do Top Hour, Six Hour, and 12 Hour versus just Top Day is some quality shit.

    I’ll start off with Top 6, when I feel like I’m seeing less stuff I want to interact with I move to Top Day, and when I’m finished there it’s Top Hour for the rest of the time. Hot if I’m bored to tears.

    currently I use hot, though I’m not really all that heavy of a user so the stale posts thing isn’t really a problem for me.
