I’ve found that hot and active sorting do not create the most enjoyable feed experience for me. I currently have my sorting set to top>6 hours, which I like much better. It means my feed does not change that much over time, so if you’re opening Lemmy frequently for a couple of minutes of browsing, it doesn’t really work. But I generally only come here during my commute, so twice a day for a longer period of browsing, and it works really well for that.
