I think Active could use a little bit of tweaking though, it seems like some posts last too long and obscures newer posts.
yea it'll be interesting to find the midway point for Active to be properly in between Hot and New Comments
but I think it'll take time to tune it, especially because right now we're getting a big wave of users and content
I agree. It's hard to tell, though, if it's because of the huge influx of new people arriving and interacting what what they are seeing in active, or if it's a flaw in the system. I've been here 2 days now and active hasn't changed almost at all, this morning I saw one new post near the top.
I think after a week or so it will probably stabilize and we'll start seeing more posts get higher up.
It's probably because the algorithm was tuned for a smaller community. As soon as posts got hundreds of comments it likely made things stay at the top for a very long time. Definitely something that will get tuned over time.
yea also we might just not be used to the slower turnover of Active, compared to Reddit's Hot, I've also only been here for 2 days so idk
Ohhh I'm gonna have to look at what sorting options I use in the future! This is interesting!
