I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.
I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.
I have this complaint with “active”. I like the idea of seeing posts where people are still interacting, but it should have some kind of half life makes it more difficult for posts to show up the older they are.
Agreed - seeing posts in Active from 2 days ago is a bit too much.
