Is the "top" sorting option working as intended?

Maybe I'm just not aware of how the "top" sorting is supposed to work, but it isn't making sense to me right now. I was just looking at top of 6h, and noticed some strange stuff.

  • top thread had about half the favorites as the 2nd post but a few less boosts. Both were newer than 6h.
  • a thread with only a few favorites and no boosts was just hanging out amongst posts with 50-100 favorites.

Are favorites and boosts accounted for differently in sorting? What about dislikes?

Seems like 'top' is based on the number of boosts instead of upvotes.

toxic,

Pretty sure top works a little different than Reddit. It’s based on the top most interacted posts with 0 decay. Whereas “hot” are the ‘top’ current posts.
