Thoughts on Lemmy sorting options? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit lost here too. I've been using mostly 'hot' (found this post using it), but there's also the issue with dynamic posts, that suddenly there's a cascade of posts being loaded and you lose where you were on the feed.

It is unintended, a bug that is already known and will possibly disappear when support for websockets is removed (i.e. only plain HTTP traffic from you web browser to the server will remain).

Thanks for that info, I just complained about this issue in a different thread. Guess I'll just have to be more patient during this phase.
