Personally when i’m looking for a community I sort it by top month instead of new because since i’m looking for an active community, it’l sort based on rankings of the posts in the community. (I assume based on the guide)
By sorting by month I feel it’s a good balence of good activity in a community vs ensuring that if tides change then fairly over time I can switch to another community based on rankings for the next month or the next and etc.
What do you all do?
All/top6 hours is the way
Top 6 > Top 12 > Top hour > New
Although usually after Top 12 I’ll wander away, or decide to contribute something somewhere myself.
Either active or top and then I just hide read.
I feel sorting top 6 hours would make more sense for me if I were sorting posts/coments within a community itself, because I would want the newest posts, but at that point I just defualt to new anyways.
But when searching for communities, personally i’m not for sorting it by hours or days because I want to make sure a community has an ok track record of being active, but at the same time i’m not wanting to keep a monopoly so that’s why I don’t go out of my way to sort the communities by top year or something like that because then we’d have another Google. I strive to strike a balence.
I wish there was a super all button that did all the communities. But I generally sort by new.
