Hello all,

Wanted to open a discussion on Lemmy’s post sorting options right now. I don’t have any experience with implementing this type of thing but right now the algorithm appears… Off? For example, ‘Active’ gives me a lot of posts over a day old but ‘Hot’ may as well be ‘New’ i.e. more recent posts with little engagement.

I don’t know if it’s due to Lemmy still picking up steam or a fundamental flaw with the algorithm. Like I said, I’m really curious to hear the opinions of those more knowledgeable.

      I think they should implement a “best” category and allow each server to curate which communities it adds to it’s “best” category and just let them game it all they want. Just dont replace any of the current options with it. Then if you select “best” and “all” it would give you content that every non black listed server from your home things is best.
