If I’m being honest it’s probably been a decade since I participated in New on reddit. It was just so much… but I don’t mind putting in some work again.
I’m not completely selfless either. For me, sorting by new makes me interact with people more. No one will notice the 973rd comment under an already popular post. The first comment will be noticed at least by OP, even if it’s the only comment under a barely noticed post. It’s quite frustrating for me to see a question in popular and be like “I could help this guy but I’m sure it’s already been taken care of”
That’s one thing that pissed me off on the reddit app recently: I have always sorted by new but at one point it wasn’t the default anymore
