Hello all,
Wanted to open a discussion on Lemmy’s post sorting options right now. I don’t have any experience with implementing this type of thing but right now the algorithm appears… Off? For example, ‘Active’ gives me a lot of posts over a day old but ‘Hot’ may as well be ‘New’ i.e. more recent posts with little engagement.
I don’t know if it’s due to Lemmy still picking up steam or a fundamental flaw with the algorithm. Like I said, I’m really curious to hear the opinions of those more knowledgeable.
Ranking is hard. My biggest gripe with this however, is that the front page doesn’t seem to cache my filter/sorting options between page reloads. I’ve resorted to replacing the anchor href on the logo with my own preferred pre-filtered search result href, via JS injection.
I think you can set default sort and subbed/local/all in settings
Oh you’re absolutely right! Thank you! I swear I checked for it a couple of days ago 😅
