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

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'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
Can our instance admin set the default to sort by new and not active? 🥺
I dont think so, I've never seen an instance that doesnt sort by active by default
doubt it, but users can set their default sort type from active to new in the settings
New comments is where it's at.
