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.

Reddit's top hourly was one of my favorite ways to browse. They need to implement that here. Just show me the top posts from the last hour.

You can do Top Day with Lemmy now. Maybe not enough content yet for hourly.

There's always enough content for top hourly. Top hourly is not enough
