May I suggest - https://old.lemmy.world/?listingType=All&sort=New

Thanks for that. I lurk lemmy every once in a while but found it really hasn't hit a critical mass yet, but man, it's amazing how a good interface improves the situation. At the very least it's a good methadone for my suddenly cold turkey reddit addiction...

Is this unique to lemmy.world or does the "old" trick work on other servers?

Yeah, it's interesting how a familiar interface really improves the accessibility. I struggled with standard Lemmy because I didn't like the UI. I'm not sure if it works with other instances. I haven't tried.

Yeah lemmy is just too full of tankies for me. I mean, reddit was full of half baked political takes, but at least they didn't spout apologia for North Korea.

Really? I've been there for several years now, and not seen any of that stuff. You must be subscribed to the wrong kind of forums. :)

I almost never log in to any of these sites (hence my problem with reddit requiring login), it would have been the front page. I will say I haven't gone to lemmy recently, so perhaps it's changed.

OTOH the worst offender [1] is lemmy.ml (run by lemmy's lead dev), and it's still federated and going strong.

Ah, I see. I only use Lemmy.world which has blocked .ml. The beauty of federation, eh?

I don't think it has? https://lemmy.world/instances lists lemmy.ml under "linked instances", and not under "blocked instances."

Oh right. Well I've still never seen any dodgy stuff on .world. Lots of foreign language posts though, which ticks me off a bit.
