Browsing Local by New is 10x more interesting than browsing by Active

As the title states, more variety, and lots of new posts are getting basically ignored, even some highish effort ones.

That's what I've discovered as well. The active sort tends to stay the same for me for hours and hours and hours

In Jerboa you can set the default sort mode in settings. I assume you can do the same on the web site.

I dont think so, I've never seen an instance that doesnt sort by active by default

Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml · 5 pts · 3y

doubt it, but users can set their default sort type from active to new in the settings

I'm browsing all by new right now. I might try local later though.

Sorting by Hot also works pretty well, good mix of new posts and popular ones

I completely agree. Sorting my All and new can be a bit overwhelming but local and All is great. I’ve found so many communities that way and stuff that has made me laugh I wouldn’t have seen any other way
