A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

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".
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to play around with it. Mine is set to hot currently, but maybe that's not my cuppa.
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.
