What does your typical SN visit look like? Feel free to elaborate in the comments.
Bonus question, do you visit specific territories? Or you just pick posts as they appear in home? E.g., did you ever click ~science to see all the posts in that territory, regardless if they are recent or not?

After seeing the hot and recent lists, I do hit a bunch of territories. I only subscribe to one (because getting the dopamine thrill of seeing the red dot and then realizing it's not a comment or zap can be disappointing), but there are about ten where I always want to know what's been posted, and another ten or so that I find interesting enough to want to check out every so often (or when I've got some extra time).

I'd like a purple dot if all new notifications are from subscriptions, either stackers or territories. Then whenever you get a zap or comment, the red dot overrides it.

I'm a denizen of the recent tab.

Chasing those sweet "early upvote" sats ;)

"Recent discussions" is good too.
I poke around lots of territories but almost always on "recent"
reply
You don't start with your notifications?
reply
Good point. Indeed, that's what i do first login of the day. Next ones usually notifications are not that frequent. Probably means I'm visiting too often.
reply
visiting too often.
You're not here continuously?
I go notifications -> hot -> recent.
reply
Touché.
But yeah, I am coding all day. SN has gotten it's own little corner on one of my screens. And now I'm on my phone, about to go to sleep.

I do try to find out something that's more crazy or innovative from the perspective of ideas. I try to share my PoVs in the comments if I can relate anything with me on SN. I don't do too much of territory visits. Instead do hot to recent to top then repeat it as many times as possible. I know that's a weird habit of mine as I don't find so much of new in hot and top unless I scroll down to the depths .

Never visited ~science, sorry!
Though next week is the school holidays n I wanna declutter my notes n post about how human inventions resemble animal adaptations. Stay tuned haha
reply
Haha, you are forgiven, once more. There are many a territory i have not visited consciously.
Just trying to think about how to best organize my territory based on people's visiting habits.
I'll await your notes on biomimicry, a very interesting topic indeed.
reply
You are my unsuspecting Stacker for today haha.
Haven’t gotten around to biomimicry yet. But I did type some notes on my phone. Will post it soon haha.
Thx for teaching me the term biomimicry!

Wish I could "subscribe" to certain users and have that be my home feed.
reply
Me too!
I recall seeing a discussion about that feature somewhere. I don't remember if it was here or on github.

First hot, then recent, for shure.
Bonus question, do you visit specific territories?
Yes. I visit specific territories regularly. Want to know what’s 🆕 in that particular territory.
reply
Notifications first. Then hot. Then Saloon. Then recent. Then do my daily post.
reply
I generally check any notifications I get, then quickly scroll back through recent to see if anything catches my eye. I'll check hot sometimes, but normally go to the territories I'm interested in after that.
