Good advice, but last time I sort by "All new" it gaves me mental illnes.
Tbh doing the same on Reddit does the same thing. Only there's a ton more of it which somehow makes it worse.
"All new" is ludicrous. "All Active/Hot" to find communities, once you're subscribed, "Subscribed New" is fine.
Imo lemmy's Active is r*ddit's Hot and lemmy's Hot is Rising but that's just my impression
You can block that here. If you want.
Yeah pretty much, you need to do some heavy blocking for All to be usable, I wish there was an All (filtered) mode, like Subscribed but in reverse. With Subscribed you see nothing except what you want to see, with All (filtered) you would see everything except what you don't.
Once you finish: "I can see why Lemmy's user base is dwindling".
Goodbye, fairweather Lemmings

Been on lemmy for three years and I've never really lacked for content though.
My default was Active, but I've switched to Hot for All.
More new things but not a lot of comments. Kind of nice to get in on the ground floor for those wanting to comment though...
I prefer Scaled over Hot as it gives boost to smaller communities making it more fair.
Scaled? Is that an instance-specific thing you have? I don't have it on mine.
Hmmm...
It's mentioned here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html so I thought I just didn't notice it before.
My home instance is currently on Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.5, so there's some new features, and I thought this one was here already since it's mentioned on join-lemmy.org.
Anyway, there's also "controversial" in this new version. Currently the most controversial post on Lemmy is this: https://lemmy.world/post/3234363
Sorry if I caused confusion to someone else than myself.
Sounds interesting. Not an option yet on Sync though 
It's not sync, it's you're instance's lemmy version. The stable release doesn't include it yet. They're on a release client for 0.19 which should officially launch soon.
I think it depends on the version.
... and yeah, might be an instance thing now that I thought about it longer. Some instance versions (that I've seen so far) dance from 0.18 to 0.19
Lemmy is, like, reverse reddit. You don't subscribe to things, you block everything you don't like. That way "all" becomes "subscribed" but bottomless and let's you still discover new instances. You'll know you're getting somewhere when your blocked list starts looking like this.
I love blocking instances
So refreshing
Psh, real Lemmy users sort by "Old".

When I run out of lemmy I check out mastodon for a bit. When I run out of that, I go outside and play with the kittens.
post the content you wish to see in this world
That requires effort...I'll pass
