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.

Although it's a little less convenient than just remembering across refreshes, you can set a default sort in your profile if there's a particular sort you like.

That being said I find myself hopping between Top Day and Hot so I can only start on one or the other. Would be nice if it just remembered.

Remembering “subscribed” instead of “local” would be nice too.
