I only use new to “refresh” my list of filtered content:

  • AI generated images
  • The bazillion of RSS bots that host no discussions and just post 5 threads in a row
  • Non-English content that I can’t read anyway (not their problem obviously)
  • Porn
  • Thirsty anime models
  • I probably forgot some more content I’m not interested in

Do you use “new” for anything specific?

edit: I listed “spam” in the title originally, I felt this was unfair

    I only sort by new for my subscribed feeds. I feel it works really well there. I rarely go so all or anything like that. Too much unwanted stuff for me personally.
