Logic / algorithm behind "Top" sorting? (piefed.social)

One of the things I miss a little from Lemmy is the different Top Hour/Day/Week etc. sort options. The most used one for me was Top Day, it was a nice way to get a suitable amount of doomscrolling each day with mostly new posts.

What's the current logic/timeframe for the Top sort on PieFed?

top 3 comments

sorted by: hot top controversial new old

From the source:

    elif sort == "top":
        posts = posts.filter(Post.posted_at > utcnow() - timedelta(days=1)).order_by(desc(Post.up_votes - Post.down_votes))

Top sort is the most upvoted in the last 7 days.

We need to have a way for people to choose a different amount of time, a lot of people visit daily. Something like this https://s1.o7planning.com/web-rs/web-image/en/arf-1123668-vi.gif

Thanks! Though @asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev comment looks to indicate it's actually "Top day".

Maybe people are just upvoting the same posts all over recently.
