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.
I’m aware, what I am getting at is that there’s multiple “Right” answers to solving what is essentially a very difficult problem.
I see this as a really clear win over the likes of Reddit and Facebook of making the algorithm more understandable to users so they see WHY they’re being fed the information they’re getting.
