    I could swear I read about a sort option that does just that…

    Yeah, here it is in github, “This is done in the back-end, just needs to get added as a post sort option.”

    It’s also referenced in the Lemmy Docs under Votes and Ranking, “Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities”

    Fuck me if I can figure out how to use it, though.

          You don’t, lol. Unless you’re running your own instance, but 0.19 has not been released yet. LW will be updated once it does. 0.18.5 is still the current release.

            Oh instance, I have been referring to eg beehaw as servers, but in context it’s obvious what you mean now. Do I understand correctly that lemmy.world is the “main” or “primary” instance?
