Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Yeah, I have my default sort set to "Subscribed" + "Scaled" (I want to primarily see the stuff that I follow, and I don't want the small communities to be drowned out by the large ones). When I want to see what's trending (big topics that are being talked about a lot) right now, I'll switch to "All" + "Active". It seems like "Hot" favors boosting trending groups rather than trending single posts.
Yeah I believe that is the purpose of Hot to begin with, though it's so great that we have so many choices to pick from:-).
From what I can see, "Hot" seems like a boosted "New" — it favors new posts, and ranks them by activity [1.1], whereas, from what I understand, "Active", is more like the classic forum format where a comment bumps it back up to the top, but ranked also based on score [1.2].
