I've been one of the people saying "we don't need more users. we need quality over quantity" and i was wrong.

the way it's going, lemmy needs active users who post content sothat the network stays relevant. networks like the fediverse benefit from network effects and that means that if we have more users, that improves the value and quality of the fediverse overall.

So please, everyone, when you can, make advertisement for the fediverse in your personal area. Go talk to friends, make attractive stickers and put them everywhere, stuff like that. We would all benefit from it.

Yeah, it was sorted by active. Changed it to hot, let's see how that goes. Thanks for the hint.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 5 points 2 days ago

I usually switch sorting options when I start seeing a lot of the same stuff, or when I get to the point where the furry shit starts to appear. Keeps things somewhat fresh most days.

Active is basically like old forum logic, where new comments will bump it up back to the top. Scaled is my go to view first as it does a pretty good job balancing out communities of widely different sizes, so smaller communities that you're subbed to have a chance of having their post be seen if it's new and larger in upvoter count.

Scaled is great for Subscribed, but I don't like Scaled+All

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

Scaled+All is hell on earth, but to be be fair it's not its fault. It's just... what Scaled is there to do. Thus works wonders in Subscribed, I'd argue it even works wonder on local unless you specifically need newest local-relevant content (eg.: local news).

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah true, I generally avoid all until I'm out of subscribed content or just looking for new communities

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah I don't use All often
