On laptop I open "recent" and scroll+expand down to the last yellow lightning. Then I read titles of each item from bottom up and middle click (command+click) on the ones that sound interesting so they open in new tabs in background. I then go through all the tabs from left to right... In each tab i middle click on the article, so it shows up in a tab to the right and so I can easily flip between article and comments. If I like what I see, I send some sats or comment :)
On mobile this is much harder to do (since the back button doesn't work well with expanded state and it's not really possible to open in background), so I just scan for interesting posts somewhat randomly.
