There are also new “top” options, and really “new” isn’t a bad option.

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Hot and Active singles in your area are waiting to chat.
Also, changing your front page from local only/subscribed to all will show you all posts your instance can see.
Hot subscribed is my default but I cycle through all the different sort settings. Thanks to lemmycommunityseeder I have a All feed that’s populated like a bigger instance on my personal instance
Found this through hot lol
Can I make it sort by hot by default?
Yes, you can find those options under Sort Type in your profile settings if you're using the web version. I'm sure each of the apps has that option as well.
That's pretty hot. 🔥 🔥
"New" lets you get even more diverse content.
I like/dislike the seen posts to mark them as seen and mave my account configured to hide seen posts. No duplicates.
I prefer sorting by active to se posts with more comments.
I try to only follow the communities on my instance. I don't like having the delays between one instance and others so I'll just stick to this place where it's all in real time
Plus if any defederation happens it has less impact
I switch between hot and new. Then I'll sort by new comments. Then top if I'm really out of new stuff.
When I first got here, I found hot was showing a lot of older posts but that seems less the case as time goes on. I think it's a question of more and more new content appearing now with communities starting to flourish, so it doesn't fall back on the older stuff as much? It's a good sign!
This should be a pinned post lmao
that's fantastic, much better
