    But how do you get new content? Assume “star wars” comes out tomorrow. How would I see that there is the new tag/sub? I’d have to actively search for it which is what I don’t like

      Ahh you mean like a trending function? I know BlueSky has a trending function to see those new hashtags and big topics. I like using both Lemmy and BlueSky but for slightly different purposes.

      Usually I’d just scroll through my already subscribed servers first here on Lemmy, and then I’d look at All sorted by Active for what big right now for all topics, after that I sort by Hot to get a glance of content that’s rising. I don’t usually search that much unless it’s a new topic I want to read more about like recipes, most recently.

      There might be a trending function here, but I haven’t been around long enough to know for sure. Hopefully this helps a bit! I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can help give a more in-depth answer.

      As others have said you can set your feed to “all active” or “all top 6h”. If you select all instead of local or subscribed you’ll see something similar to Reddit /all
