I do. I prefer not seeing the same posts every time, especially when they’re mostly just memes.

I sort by new because there’s not that much content (at least not being served to me). If I sort by active I end up seeing the same stuff for days.

Because “New in All” is like a vision into the great abyss.

I do. Back on reddit, the rate of new content was enough that hot was effectively new with a quality filter. Around the end of June, when reddit pulled the api shit and people were just starting to jump ship, lemmy was a lot smaller and had less content. So if you sorted by active or hot, you would always end up seeing the same 2-year-old posts at the top every time. I set my default sort to new so that I would actually see different posts.

I do pretty much all the time. Why? Because I like to keep up with the latest posts - and so the news and stories they relate to. It seems a bit odd to ask ‘why’ really.

I always stick with ‘subscribed’, of course. I have no idea what ‘new’ and ‘all’ would look like.

I sort Risa by new so I can see the freshest Star Trek memes from Stamets and The Picard Maneuver.

Because I’ll be one of the first people engaging with the posts.

To get more content. What kind of question is this?

Because new is more interesting.

I am not interested in computer and tech stuff so 95% of lemmy’s content is on my block list.
That way, sorting by new is the only feasible way to browse.

I do, every time. What I’ve subbed to doesn’t have a huge volume of posts, so to see anything new daily I sort by new. Otherwise there’s just not enough going on here.

New, always.

Once I’ve checked out what TopSixHour and NewComments have to offer, sure.

I forgot I had selected new.

Do sort by new occasionally, when I have extra time to scroll and I don’t want to see the same posts I just loaded 15 minutes ago.
