Not sure about Lemmy, but the default option on Mbin is “Hot”, which is just chronological order with boosted comments pushed to the top. Boosting is basically just the microblog way of retweeting, and I believe will add an extra point to the score on the Mbin side.
Could be a bit confusing, since Mbin’s definition of “hot” is 95% chronological, but Bluesky’s definition has more to do with reply/like ratios.
I haven’t dived into the source code yet, but while it does seem to weight newness more than e.g. Reddit, it still feels much less than 95% and it’s all based on the same principle that upvotes should also determine a bit of what you see. Keep in mind hotness is different from top, an option that Bluesky also has. (I also haven’t been able to find which option Bluesky previously defaulted to.)
“Engagement bait” is now the default option. Monetization is the next step.
“Engagement bait” is also the default option on Lemmy, Mbin, etc.

Huh? Default is Scaled.
That’s for posts, not comments, which is what Bluesky changed.
I was talking about Lemmy
Yeah, by “posts” I meant posts to Lemmy/threads on the home feed. By “comments” I mean the discussion area for each thread.
