constant cyclejerk to farm upvotes. also the fact that on reddit if you dont commonet within like 1hr of post creation you have basically no chance of getting top voted / talking on that thread
But if the post is almost a day old, do you really want or expect to be “top voted”? Hasn’t someone already expressed your general point of view, maybe in slightly different words?
One thing I’m liking about Lemmy is the sorting options Top Hour, Top Six Hours, Top Twelve Hours. Helps keep the feed fresh especially with my smaller subscriptions not getting lost below the trending topics I might not care much about or that feel already discussed to death.

the Hot sorting is supposed to help with that, since it adjusts each comment for how long the comment has been around.
A brand new comment with 10 votes is worth more than a 1 day old comment with 100.
