I think the main feed is a bit of a mess. They really need to get the algorithm for hot and active fixed so it feels more like the Reddit front page.

The tricky part is defining an algo for hot, it’s a bit different than reddit since some instances may have many people, and local may have fewer, so there should be a balance such that posts from larger instances don’t overwhelm local instances perhaps.
