The advice I have seen is stick to “local” instead of “all” so you don’t see deranged liberal threads, though you’ll still see the lost liberal wandering aghast into a normal Hexbear thread. And sort by “hot” instead of “active” but I don’t really know why that is better?

Hot is better for small posts, active prioritizes massive dunk sessions that happen when libs wander in.

I feel like we’re on transition and things will come around to where we were before. I’ve seen a lot of terrible memes and horrible takes - I’ve also seen some good stuff, mostly from lemmygrad. Anyway, I also appreciate all the work our mods and admins have done. I also, kind of miss just having hexbear only content – and knowing that I’ll miss out on other things if I select only “local”.

My method is to pull up local by default, and then venture out into All after I’ve gotten caught up on everything there.

I like using Subscribed, and am currently just subscribed to Hexbear and Lemmygrad comms.

This is probably the correct way to go in the long run. We are used to just browsing ALL and leaning on the algorithm, but algorithms are garbage-in garbage-out. A certain amount of curation is needed beyond some point.

This brings me more content than just Local, but also keeps a lot of the true trash off of my page. I might add some more comms on other instances over time, but I haven’t really seen anything that’s been worth dealing with even more insufferable libs than we’re already getting on our own stuff.
