What is the default comment sort? It doesn’t seem to be by time or votes.

Also is there any way to change the way comments are sorted like I can with posts?

EDIT: Found this. It explains how the active and hot sorts work, but it doesn’t go over default sort or changing the sort.

    Yeah I can set my default sort for posts (subscriptions, local, all) but I can’t switch my default sort for comments either. I always want posts new and comments sort by top. I’m optimistic changes will come in the near future for stuff like this though but don’t see a way currently

    I just realized there is no comment sorting. When lemmy gets bigger and jerobe gets more stable we will see it all. Can’t wait

    Comment sorting is coming in the next version. I believe it always sorts by “Hot” in the current version.
