In Voyager I see that posts can be sorted by:

  • hot
  • active
  • top (some time range)
  • controversial
  • something else that I never pay attention to.

What are the definitions of these criteria?

I kind of get them all except hot vs active. What is measured?

top 4 comments
sorted by: hot top controversial new old

The way I deduced it is, hot is based on recent votes and active is based recent comments (maybe also votes)

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Hot is votes/ time. High number of votes in short period of time goes up.

Active is yes, recent comments.

Hot should be engament/time

Active would just be where people are actively commenting

What I really want:

Top of IN "some time range" AND NOT IN "other time range".

So like... Top (6 hour) would be Top (6 hour) AND NOT IN Top (1 hour). Or Top 6 Hour AND NOT IN 12 Hour.
