What’s the difference between active and hot when filtering posts/comments? They sound like the same thing.

    Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

    Votes and ranking

    Just a guess but I think active sorts by how active the comment sections of a post are whereas hot seems like it ranks by recent upvotes.

    Im trying to find that out also. Im sorting by new right now just to see all the post that are coming in. Sorting by new is like r/all kinda

      Sorting by new you can also see all the new communities as they come and get in.

            I just block communities I have no interest in. I’m sure there will be plenty of that going forward but it’s worth the time to curate my feed a bit.

    I was just wondering this. My guess is that hot is some sort of middle ground between active and new.
