Active gets me a good amount of content with pre existing comments but alot of it days+ old. Active gets me newer stuff but most of it will never get a comment besides mine lol. Feel like I need something in between.

Are custom feeds planned to be a thing in Lemmy? Im guessing they would have to controlled by instance admin's since its their resources being spent. But would be cool to let users create their own feeds

Scaled? It seems to work like how reddit's feed worked before, where all of the activity gets rated against the age

Scaled still lacks the kind of big commented threads that are still recent.

Like I kinda want like if you took Active, removed everything a day+ older, then mixed in Hot

edit: Wonder if they would accept a PR hmmm

Did you try Top and then something like the last 6 hours? That used to be a decent one during the API surge of users a few years back when hot didn't work so well yet, for some reason.

Top 12 hours is actually really good wtf thank you, if we could mix in like Hot posts I think it would be perfect

I use New Comments and am happy with the balance.
