Sorting by Scaled is awesome
Sorting by Scaled is awesome
I only just noticed this option for sorting my feed. I do have a reasonably curated selection of large and small and using “scaled” gives the results I would expect across them all.
Give it a go.
This sort was introduced in Lemmy 0.19:
A new scaled sort option has been added. This sort is identical to the Hot sort, but also takes into account the number of each community’s active monthly users, and so helps to boost posts from less active communities to the top.
This is a lemmy thing not a voyager thing btw
Thanks. I find the terms too vague. It isn't obvious what Active vs Hot vs Scaled are. I am going to give it a try.
Here's the page that explains all the sorting options: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
I tried it and was not entirely happy with it.
I usually stick to New on my list of communities and it's been good.
Reddit had sort by rising, which I loved. This is probably the equivalent of that.
Top past 6 hours feels like rising to me, probably because of the small size of Lemmy.
I thought that was for finding reptiles?
Shhh, don't be scaled, you'll ok.
Oh cool, this is an option in Thunder now, I didn't notice before
It's in Sync as well. I don't know why I always read complaints about sync not being updated frequently.
You read those because the dev has a tendency to leave for months at a time and returning when it's really bad to get a few updates up.
Because the dev disappears for months at a time. That's said often enough that it's clearly true.
Yeah but the option appeared in sync only after around 3 months after the release of Lemmy 0.19
funny how its the only sort item that doesn't have a capital letter as its first character
