My default is Subscribed | New comments.
Hot and Active are too slow. New Comments lets even old posts rise to the top showing that new comments are being made and can be interacted with.
Then I switch to Subscribed | New to jump on new posts if I want to, and then finish up with All | New Comments and dive into the action lol.
What’s your strategy?
I’ve been sorting by new the last couple days. Great way to find more communities to subscribe to as well.
