What’s the difference? I clicked on the question mark, but the link 404ed.
It’s described in great detail here : https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html#lemmy
Holy shit I never even considered the fact that the Lemmy post/comment sorting algorithms would obviously be public, that’s awesome!
Brain small; not understand. 😵💫
This is the key difference:
Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.
Thank you!

I like the look of that… ought to keep things fresher
Thank you so much! I see a ‘book’ icon next to language and post time; what does that do exactly?
Gonna be honest - I have no clue what book icon you see. Can you screenshot it?
