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.

My biggest issue is that posts stream in regardless of the sorting option you have picked. So, even if I am sorting by 'hot' posts I'll get a stream of posts that where made less than a minute ago.

Absolutely my biggest annoyance as well.
