Thoughts on Lemmy sorting options? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hello all,

Wanted to open a discussion on Lemmy's post sorting options right now. I don't have any experience with implementing this type of thing but right now the algorithm appears... Off? For example, 'Active' gives me a lot of posts over a day old but 'Hot' may as well be 'New' i.e. more recent posts with little engagement.

I don't know if it's due to Lemmy still picking up steam or a fundamental flaw with the algorithm. Like I said, I'm really curious to hear the opinions of those more knowledgeable.

There is an option to hide posts that you've already read in settings, I know that's not exactly the same thing, and I haven't tested it out, but that might help solve the problem of seeing the same posts every time we open the app

Where in the settings is this? I'm having trouble finding account settings on the Jerboa app. Some options that exist on the web version aren't in the app either (e.g., I had to use Chrome to create a community).

If you press on the little hamburger menu on the top left next to All(new) you should see the settings menu on the left
