Only seen it the past hour or so but I’ve already set it as my default. It seems to work exactly as I’d hoped where smaller but no less interesting communities get their posts higher in my feed.
This could be a huge change and I think lemmy would benefit from those of us caring about the idea being vocal about it and assessing its efficacy.
It’s having an impact like unions; even people using the other sorts are benefiting from the existence of scaled sort. It fulfils the role way better than Sort by New because that just gives you a bunch of blog spam or stuff in languages you probably don’t even speak.
