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

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

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’ve switched from All to Subscriptions only, and I’m getting some really wonky Hot posts. The first ~20 posts are fine, but after that, it starts serving me reeeally old content. (Reproduced in multple apps, so it’s not just Memmy).

I had stuff in my feed jump from a few hours old to then showing things that haven’t had a comment in TWO YEARS back to showing content from a few days ago.

There has to be a bug somewhere in Lemmy’s API in regards to what posts are returned.

This. That’s definitely a big. It wasn’t always happening and seems somewhat recent.
