Hmm, so far I think I still liked Reddit's algorithm better. Somehow it always managed to combine top posts from huge communities (news, videos, etc) with small niche interest communities on the same timeline. Hot on Lemmy feels almost like a random selection of posts to me. What people post here is good, but the way it's selected and sorted doesn't feel quite as meaningful to me.
I think size of the community should be factored into the ranking, at least a little bit.
Same. I used reddit mostly for smaller communities and the hot algorithm doesn't seem to pick them up here. They're pretty inactive but they do have daily posts. If I don't go directly to that community though, I won't see them. I'm sure these things will be refined over-time.
