if it's anything like Reddit
hot = most upvotes recently
top = most upvotes overall
given the rather smaller community and less activity, there is a large overlap between the two
If I may ask, what's the difference between those two you mentioned and "Active"?
Active probably has more active engagement so more recent comments probably
I've seen some massively downvoted posts near the top of my "hot" feed recently, so I wonder if it just considers votes, whether they are up or down?
From the docs:
When browsing the frontpage or a community, you can choose between the following sort types for posts:
Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time.
Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published.
New: Shows most recent posts first.
Old: Shows oldest posts first. Most Comments: Shows posts with highest number of comments first. New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they receive a new reply analogous to the sorting of traditional forums.
Top Day: Highest scoring posts during the last 24 hours.
Top Week: Highest scoring posts during the last 7 days.
Top Month: Highest scoring posts during the last 30 days.
Top Year: Highest scoring posts during the last 12 months.
Top All Time: Highest scoring posts during all time.
