Hi All, Salut à tou.te.s
So, by default, the “front-page” whatever how it’s called is sorted by “Active” which is showing mostly one week old post, you know the big strike.
I know that I can sort by “new” but is there something more suited to see the recent but popular thread ?
Top Day seems to be working well for me. Since things generally move a bit slower on here than the Reddit firehose, Top Day gives you a nice blend of newer stuff plus stuff that has some active discussions going on
I sort by Type: Subscribed; Sort type: New.
As the threadiverse grows, I may consider switching to Active. But for now, I like New.
You may also consider Top Day.
I feel like top of the day only works right as you start your day but after that it just shows you the same stuff
In theory I like the idea of Active, but in practice the time weighted sorting doesn’t seem to decay quickly enough.
Lemm.ee has fixed the active tab I think. Check it out to see if it’s different than your experience.
Do you know if they’re just resetting their instance at regular intervals?
I go by new. Obviously the content level here is not Reddit-esque yet, so it’s still remarkably manageable to do this way. At some point, I imagine (hope?) needing to shift to “hot” or “active,” but that time hasn’t come for me, yet.
Yeah, active and hot are kinda broken, and now devs are really busy trying to fix performance issue, so for some time it’s either New or Top. I usually use New
It’s already been fixed. It just needs to be worked into a stable branched and updated into the instances.
I like to have it set to “all” and “new comments”. There is some movement but its slow enough to be usable. Also posts which are very active are more likely to appear there but you still see some newer stuff.
I really hope the “hot” and “active” algorithms will be fixed soon though.
