There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.
Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!
Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!
edit: Here’s a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/
i should have added it here a while ago!
My go to sort is Subscribed+Top Day.
The issue with Hot and Active seems to be that comments weigh in a little too heavy. Since these are the top sorts, all these new Lemmings see these threads, comment, and keep them at the top.
When numbers stabilize (or at least stop doubling every couple of days) this might resolve itself, or maybe the Hot sort might get an tweak.
In the meantime, try the other sorts.
