Is lemmy working on better default sort options than “hot” and “active”? - eviltoast

I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.

    I recognize this as well. Mostly I want to know that discussions are being had about a front page sort, and what those discussions might be like.

    Even without the Reddit user count, I think the sorting should be better.

      My only complaint is that it keeps showing me stuff I’ve already seen, even though I have “show read posts” toggled to off.

        Is that a feature of an app? Or built into Lemmy? I use Memmy, and that is a feature in there.

          Idk if it’s part of the app or built into Lemmy. It’s a setting in my profile when I view it within Jerboa, so I’m assuming it is built into Lemmy and exposed by the app. But it’s not working. Maybe Jerboa isn’t successfully marking them as read. Does it work well in Memmy?
