Is it me, or is it rather slow? If I sort by active I get content that is 1-2 days old. If I sort by hot most stuff are 17-20h old.
There is interesting content on here, it’s just hard to find. And you end up having to sort by new, which is totally different experience!
Other than that I really feel like Lemmy could become something awesome.
I think Active made sense for Lemmy initially, since it works a lot more like a phpBB forum board where each new comment bumps the thread to the top. I guess that made sense when Lemmy servers were relatively quiet.
Now that many new users are coming from Reddit and expecting it to behave accordingly, it makes more sense to switch to Hot as the default.
