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’m not sure about the algos, but I’d kill if it would at least remember my choices between page refreshes.
Although it’s a little less convenient than just remembering across refreshes, you can set a default sort in your profile if there’s a particular sort you like.
That being said I find myself hopping between Top Day and Hot so I can only start on one or the other. Would be nice if it just remembered.
Remembering “subscribed” instead of “local” would be nice too.
Visit your settings, it’s right there!
