Active and Hot sortings are not weighted by community activity (beehaw.org)

Technically New isn’t either but that one makes sense. However what’s considered Active on !technology@beehaw.org is unattainable on say !food@beehaw.org as a result I see many posts from very active communities and nothing from less active ones.

Is there a work-around for that side from going to each of the communities I’m subscribed to? Or is this just a todo for lemmy devs for now?

This needs to be addressed by the devs in my opinion... I read that the way the Hot score is calculated needs to be changed either way since it's currently horrible for the performance.

I saw a post over on lemmy.ml as a request for comments on this..
Essentially apply a weighting to popularities based on community size.
I imagine an issue will pop up on the GitHub soon to centralise the discussion.

If it's horrible for performance, it should be bundled by cron jobs instead of recalculated every single request

It’s not that. You can read the issue detail but essentially the database query for hot sorting is currently inefficient.

I have noticed that when click "all" and "active", after a minute or two my page will load a random instance's entire list today.

Here is an example
