    There’s no algorithm here, so use the different sorting options (for both posts and comments), as well as setting your favourite as default once you see what works for you.

    Voting doesn’t tune your algorithm, so I’d say only use downvoting for things that are low quality, trolling, in the wrong sub, duplicate posts, etc. Your votes aren’t private, by the way - although Lemmy itself doesn’t display voters’ names, that info is in every server’s database, and some other software in the Fediverse does show them.

    There are quite a few apps available, I like Voyager on Android and I stick to the default website on my computer.

      Out of curiosity, which sorting option do you prefer and why? I seem to use Hot a lot, but sometimes I switch to Active, honestly not sure what the difference is.
