Even Lemmy was like this. Especially with the default comment sort “active”, which promotes comments that lead to arguments. My experience has been better since I switched to “top”.
I still haven’t found a good post sort that works for me. “Hot” and “Scaled” literally only promote stuff posted in the past two hours. “Top” is kinda sad because you always see posts 1 day old, and “Active” has the negative engagement problem.
The best solution I’ve found is be on an instance with downvotes disabled and sort by “active” but it isn’t perfect.
I usually go by top of the last 6 hours and top of the last 12 hours. is that just a thing in my app?

No its built in and across all the apps.
Thats my preference as well (top 6/12). Thats for all though, subscribed I go new. But its pretty niche communities and not a huge amount of activity.
I just sort by newest over 12/24 hours. I've found I tend to argue much less with idiots if I get in and out before the troublemakers show up.
I feel the same way and now typically use "Top 6 Hours"
...which is a actually how I found this thread.
I just subscribe to communities I like, then sort by "New" to read those "Subscribed" communities. When I run out, I change to "Scaled" and "All".
I always sort by New and let the chaos chips fall where they may
maybe we should be able to blend several of these like i'll take 20% of top day and 30% of active and 5% controversial.. lemmy would grow more of the content was more suitable.
