difference between "hot" and "active"?
difference between "hot" and "active"?
i saw those in the settings for post sorting, and was wondering what they even do lol
You're viewing a single thread.
“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”
This is what I like about the fediverse. I asked a similar question on Reddit a long time ago. Got a snarky comment "it is what it sounds like" and nothing else.
Thanks for answering.
Glad I could help. Not too long ago I was thinking about the same question myself, so looking up the answer a second time was fairly easy.
Will hot be improved in the future? It keep showing new dead posts on my end.
there was a bug in hot that showed years old posts. should be fixed in the latest versions.
Yes, but it still show too many posts that are too new to have more than 0-1 comments on my end, even on the Everything page.
