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.
They need mark as read too. I keep seeing the same stuff.
If it helps, there’s a “Show Read Posts” toggle in your account settings- I believe “Read” is based on having ⬆️ / ⬇️ed the post.
Nice! Thanks
