Yeah, I’m glad there’s a bunch of options! I know I have some oddly specific preferences and I’m sure others do too, so hopefully there’s something that’ll mostly acomodate everyone.
Hot sorting normally has some weight put towards new posts so they show up occasionally. I think on lemmy right now the weight of new posts is just way too high.
I tend to stick to top in time period, and use hot as a smarter version of sort by new.
This is the one that gets me. If I’m doom scrolling a community and accidentally comment on a 3yr old post, it shouldn’t get catapulted into hot. Hot should be filtering out anything older than 2 days
Ah, the YouTube experience. Jeez, you guys are still talking about this? Wait, no, no you’re not.
Reddit was getting pretty bad about surfacing ancient threads there, for a while. I thought they were back on their bullshit about Gamestop but no, three year old thread.
Considering I’ve enjoyed some of the “old” videos the algorithm sometimes sends my way, I’m not always disappointed when I find one I hadn’t seen before.
