I’ll go first. I wish Lemmy communities existed for: destroyed tanks. Ukraine War video report. sopranos duckposting. benzodiazepines.

I will comment more as I think of them.

    The active, hot, and scaled sort have that two day bump limit, but active uses the newest comment time for it’s algorithm, whereas hot uses the post creation time.

    So the hot sort is better for new trending content, and active is better for topics with new comments.

      active uses the newest comment time

      I think this is what I don’t like about active sort. Just a single comment is all it needs to bump a highly upvoted post to the top. I feel like it should rather look at an aggregate of recent comments or something along those lines, so that a single comment doesn’t cause such a big effect. It’s kinda like if a single vote could move a post to the top.
