Active and Hot sortings are not weighted by community activity
Technically New isn’t either but that one makes sense. However what’s considered Active on [email protected] is unattainable on say [email protected] as a result I see many posts from very active communities and nothing from less active ones.
Is there a work-around for that side from going to each of the communities I’m subscribed to? Or is this just a todo for lemmy devs for now?
This needs to be addressed by the devs in my opinion... I read that the way the Hot score is calculated needs to be changed either way since it's currently horrible for the performance.
I saw a post over on lemmy.ml as a request for comments on this..
Essentially apply a weighting to popularities based on community size.
