Top is pretty self explanatory. Hot takes a combination of how many votes they got and how recent they are. And I think active is based on the number of new comments, although I’m not entirely sure.
Yeah and it’s also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they’ll stop participating.
Right, but smaller instances break as well. The only solution for that is to have multiple accounts, which doesn’t work very well on Lemmy right now. Hopefully that will be improved
There’s nothing wrong with lemmy.world. I think most people aren’t looking for specifically a federated platform, they’re just looking for a platform, and it happens to be federated. In that case, it sorta makes sense to go with the most popular instance.
Yes! Thanks, default comment sort was the thing I was waiting for. Now the only thing I need is swipe action cuatomisation and it’ll be as good as Apollo!
