MODERATORS
It’s only like that because the community here is much smaller and overall post quality is higher on average.
I agree with you, but with time I expect the ‘hot’ algorithm to need many revisions. Don’t get too attached.
The size of the community isn't the only problem though. The hot page is filled with very recent posts making I virtually random as to what posts you see there. It's not about what post people are upvoting today, there is some aberration that brings up sub 100 vote posts to the top in their first hour over a 6 hour old post with 1000 votes. Active is also filled with days old posts making it useless for keeping up with current events too.
