Is lemmy working on better default sort options than “hot” and “active”? (lemmy.world)

I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.

I know there are several PRs for this. Or at least were.

Here’s some threads I’m monitoring hoping it’s added.

I think this with some instance agnostic linking that makes you always stay in your logged in instance, making subscribing and searching easier would be huge

Admittedly the devs seem weirdly hard headed about this but it seems they have blinders on and can only see it from a tech perspective. But given they are still open it does seamen promising. especially since they are still reviewing them (3071 was just closed as a dup 3 hours ago)
