Proposal: Can we vote to set all users to the "Scaled" sort, just to see what happens?
Seeing posts sit at the front page of "Active" and "Hot" for multiple days, I'm wondering if there's a way to address this. The "Scaled" sort seems to do a better job of promoting newer posts. Perhaps if it were set as everyone's default, we might see more activity funneled to newer things, rather than lingering on the same posts for multiple days?
If it turns out to not improve things, would it be difficult to revert back?

Scaled isn't very good. I use it but I don't get shown posts from for example chat when using All tab. :/

yeah i know... hexbear used to have its own algorithm, weighted to favor large discussions without drowning out new posts. Had to be thrown out when when the site was re-integrated back into the rest of lemmy. Really, this is a problem with the whole of Lemmy, but I don't expect that to change any time soon

Yea, the algorithms are very bad sadly. Or my Lemmy is dead.

little bit of both. a good algorithm would promote discussion and keep things feeling fresh even with a smaller group of people. Lemmy's don't, so it just works to the detriment of the smaller user-base
Wheaties in feedback
