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.

I use "Top Day" and seem to be quite happy with it.

Thanks for the suggestion! This works much better!

I just switched to this and it seems to be what I expect from 'Hot'. Hot seems to include popular posts from weeks to months ago and that's just not the definition of hot, really.

Nobody said it’s hot AND fresh
