In my second month on lemmy (sh.itjust.works + Voyager) now and just noticing that I can’t figure out y’all’s schedule.
On another site, for instance, I knew it loosely followed the US sleep schedule. For instance, if you posted something at 5am EST, it would be completely buried by the wave of people posting first thing in the morning.
As far as I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be that pattern here and I can post whenever I want and posts seems active for days instead of hours…
But I am a little curious about the little details. For instance, a comment on a newish post can pick up 5 upvotes in an hour, and then it’s like nobody ever reads it again.
So is there a pattern on Lemmy or does it really just depend on the server?
I personally sort by “new comments” which isn’t a thing on reddit. So I am more likely to see, and comment on, things if plenty of other people have also done so.
But I don’t know how many other people do that.
I’ll have to play around with New Comments.
What motivates you to do that?
I imagine it largely tracks with hot, with additional necrocommenting.
Mainly the fact that it makes sure that if I refresh after a few minutes, I will probably get different posts. That’s not the case for most other sorting methods.
