Maybe this is unpopular but I'm getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

(page 2) 50 comments
sorted by: hot top controversial new old

In the ios app ( mlem) it defaults to top, so always odler stuff

Yep just logged in and the top 10 posts are all 3 days old. Yeah this migration from reddit is not working for me yet. I'll keep trying.

I actually get the most utility out of new comments but in my dreams I'd like to see separate drop downs for timespan and criteria. The sort I'm really craving is "most comments" "past day" but I think pretty much every combination would be useful and interesting. They could even have options referring to different time dropoff curves. Then the traditional past day, past week, etc would effectively be flat.

What you want is sorting by new, in "subscribed" or even "all"

[โ€“] Pekka@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

New + subscribes works fine yes. But won't you miss out new comments in popular posts that are a bit older with that option? If you are subscribed to lots of communities, the first few pages already are starting to get filled with new posts in a few hours. It is probably hard to do this well for everyone.

No I don't as I don't want to see all content I just want to see the good stuff, which is why I feel like the posts should age out after 24 hours so that when I get on lemmy the next day I have new quality content to view.

[โ€“] NotInTheFace@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could sort by "top day", at least then you won't see older posts.

Where is that at? Im blind lol but this sounds like what I want.

But if those posts get new comments, it isn't so bad. I dislike how many websites age stuff too fast.

This might be needed, yes. I currently just sort by new, but that will probably lead to missing out on the actually popular topics when even more people start joining Lemmy.

I change the setting on my home feed into subscribe + new comment. Works well for me. All hot posts still takes chunk of first 10 on my homefeed, but really new post is not that far down the line...
