Do you just go to the home/feed and let it be fed to you? Do you have things you follow specifically and nothing else? Somewhere in between?
CONSOOOM
CONSSUUUUUUMMMEEE
im subbed to ~700 communities across dozens of servers. the https://moist.catsweat.com/all/newest queue is always hoppin
then theres the microblog stuff where i follow a few mastodon, universodeon peeps.
👌💯
I don’t follow much social media, beside Lemmy and maybe YT.
And then, since self-inflicted pain is not my thing, I only read those communities (and watch those channels) I have chosen to subscribe to.
I like to find gemblogs and try to find indeces to other blogs on the smolweb.
I use the search bar.
oh I like that
I look through my subscriptions first and then through all but I block magazines where I have no interest in the topics or are in a foreign language relative to me.
I use Lemmy and YouTube. when Lemmy content dries up, I watch a couple of things on YouTube before I begin doing something productive
Hoe do you get to your content? Do you sort by new? Do you use the home, shorts or subscription page?
I do a combination of new, active, hot. mostly just sort by new since the other options are iffy on the sync client, its not like there are so many posts to sift through when I surf using new lol
I open Jerboa and start scrolling with it showing me everything sorted by newest comment so only the posts people are talking in show up at the top. When I see something interesting, I open it.
On mastodon, i sometimes go to the explore page to see whats trending.
I only use Lemmy (first sort by All TopSixHour, then Subscribed New) and occasionally mastodon, but that place is kind of empty so there’s not a lot to look at. Back in the day I used to use Instagram every other day, but I would not ever recommend that ever to anyone ever on this planet ever. It was awful.
After browsing my regular subscriptions, I’ll scroll through all mode. But it’s mostly us politics :/
Mainly mixed, I use mostly youtube(via invidious(Piped broke)),Peertube,odysee,Lemmy.
Oh nice, alternative apps! How do you approach finding content? Just let the home page feed you stuff or do you do something else?
Recommendations,homescreen,etc
