Not sure if this fits here, feel free to remove if not.

I’m sure the algorithm must be working as intended, but I always see a lot of rapid-fire posts under each other when browsing “Hot”. Is this normal or am I missing a setting?

    I had a feeling it was something like that, this makes sense, thanks. Would you recommend a different sorting method?

      I think instance admins can remove the square, but I’m not sure. Otherwise, given that Lemmy does not have that many users, I often stick with Hot anyways, and only look at active from time to time if I feel hot gets too boring. And if active is also boring, I do something else.

      On my subscribed, I use new. I mostly subscribe to more niche communities, so its fairly quick.

      On local, I tend to use top 12hrs, and on all, top for 6 hours.

      Edit: note/more autocorrect.
