Lemmy.world finally updated to v19 and I see that I have the option to do scaled sort. Typically I sort by “Top 6 hour”, “Top 12 hours”, and then “Active”.
None of these options are really like the old “Hot” sort on Reddit. So how does the scaled sort work? Is anyone who has been on v19 a while using it much?

I believe it’s to help raise up tiny communities. So a community with ten members that has a new post with one upvote should be scaled to the same as a huge community with a post with hundreds of upvotes.
This is to combat a few huge communities dominating the front page, when some smaller communities may be trying to take off.
