Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)

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.

TopDay works best for me atm, Hot sometimes keeps posts that are days or at most a week old at the top of my feed
I swap between hot and new. Active gets pretty stale.
When I do that the feed keeps reloading itself, making it very much unusable. Now I understand that to be a bug, but why advice something so broken?
I'm glad to hear thats a bug. I experienced the same thing with the reloading and couldn't find a way to anchor it. I'm happy to be patient and wait for a bug fix.
LPT: if you want, you can change your default sort settings. Click on your profile in the top right corner > settings > type and sort type.
The real LPT is always in the comments!
(Guess I'm the first one to say that line here on Lemmy xD)
I'm witnessing history. 😎
Until the websockest thing is fixed, I can't browse by that method. My feed gets shit on 2 seconds after loading.
Temp fix: Set page to 0 instead of 1 - https://lemmy.world/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/0. This stops the feed from auto updating
I prefer New Comments. Keeps the feed fresh with a good balance of new posts and active posts.
It depends. I start with active, then hot, then new if I'm browsing for a long time. But usually active to hot is good.
Maybe I'm not subscribed to enough communities, but New is what works for me. Hot and Active are always stale.
Also might be helpful to know that you can set your default sort type under you profile settings.
It looks like Mlem sorts by Hot by default and I still get all these Reddit posts
I sort new as there isn't enough posts to justify going for hot.
