What is the proper "Default sort" for the best experience
Hi All, Salut à tou.te.s
So, by default, the "front-page" whatever how it's called is sorted by "Active" which is showing mostly one week old post, you know the big strike.
I know that I can sort by "new" but is there something more suited to see the recent but popular thread ?
You're viewing a single thread.
I sort by Type: Subscribed; Sort type: New.
As the threadiverse grows, I may consider switching to Active. But for now, I like New.
You may also consider Top Day.
I feel like top of the day only works right as you start your day but after that it just shows you the same stuff
Exactly but it's still great cuz there are many days in life, many chances to see good shit.😁
In theory I like the idea of Active, but in practice the time weighted sorting doesn't seem to decay quickly enough.
Lemm.ee has fixed the active tab I think. Check it out to see if it's different than your experience.
Do you know if they're just resetting their instance at regular intervals?
Yes. I think I read on dev posts this was exactly what they were doing, setting up a cronjob that restarts the refresher.
Have you heard of any federation issues with doing this?
Yes. I read there were small issues arising from this, probably hiccups in synchronization during sync downtime and re-ask. I reckon a few items get delayed in sync, including a few votes, comments and posts.
