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 have tried a lot of the different options and never felt any of them had a lot of value other than New. I don’t wanna see the same stuff over and over again so I’m the guy trolling all new posts looking for interesting stuff.

      Have you tried “new comments”? That works best for me because it makes sure that more interesting (more commented-in) threads are displayed more often, but I neither see the same stuff over and over again nor am likely to miss interesting stuff just because I don’t look at Lemmy all the time.

      I think a lot of us, when we were be where, set our clients to “New, 6 hours” and forgot it.

      It makes sense that Hot would reflect that, since that might be how a large portion of the user base is finding content to interact with.
