Why is the lemmy hot sort seemingly so bad? After the first couple of posts it turns into new posts with no votes, sometimes the same new post multiple times back to back to different communities, and sometimes posts with negative points. I came across a series of posts today with 1 upvote (poster) and 6 downvotes. I don’t get how that can be considered “hot”

    Switch to Top -> 6 hours. So much better

      The issue with this is I also want to be able to see smaller posts that are gaining traction. I wouldn’t mind posts with 2 or 3 upvotes (votes from users other than the poster), but new posts with no upvotes should not be considered hot, and especially not posts with negative points.
