    Yeah, I do New all the time, don’t know why people don’t recommend that option more often 🤷.

      Personally I use Hot rather than New because of the sheer volume of posts that exist. It’s kind of a disincentive to keep scrolling if the content gets generally less interesting and less commented on as you scroll.

        I actually kinda like being the first to comment on a post… it raises post and view count and people that have Hot or Active selected in their feed, will most probably get that post in there if enough people comment.

          That’s a good point. I guess it’s a leftover from Reddit. I do comment more often now.

          Still, I’m more okay with missing out on bottom-of-feed Hot posts than bottom-of-feed New posts.

            Yeah, on Reddit, comments got kinda lost in the noise… that’s why I always chose New, even on Reddit. What’s the point of commenting if no one actually reads your comment 🤷.
