Maybe I’m just not aware of how the “top” sorting is supposed to work, but it isn’t making sense to me right now. I was just looking at top of 6h, and noticed some strange stuff.
- top thread had about half the favorites as the 2nd post but a few less boosts. Both were newer than 6h.
- a thread with only a few favorites and no boosts was just hanging out amongst posts with 50-100 favorites.
Are favorites and boosts accounted for differently in sorting? What about dislikes?
Pretty sure top works a little different than Reddit. It’s based on the top most interacted posts with 0 decay. Whereas “hot” are the ‘top’ current posts.
