I’m fine just using the hot sort or scaled sort in my subscribed communities. I don’t participate much since I mainly post in niche communities, and Lemmy tends to smother those, so I have to keep using Reddit.

I think it is, and niche has lost to shitposting. Also, don’t tell me what to do.

Nah it only rewards communities with few members, that means bot communities with lot of posts and almost no active users are always going to be top. That’s not the outliers sorting that I want.

1. Compute raw post score (upvotes minus downvotes).
2. Normalize score by community size (e.g., divide by square root of active users).
3. Calculate z-score relative to community mean and standard deviation.
4. Apply time decay to prioritize recent posts.
5. Sort posts by adjusted z-score.

• Outcome: Posts that significantly outperform their community norm appear prominently, giving small and large communities equal visibility potential.
• Enhancements: Minimum engagement thresholds, Bayesian shrinkage for small communities.

I had never thought of putting sugar in meat, but now that I think about it BBQ sauce probably contains sugar as well.

Saying that without showing any proof seems slanderous.

So should I ask the admin first or it’s fine if I just make my own community there and run the bot to post my RSS feed?

There is also ibbit.at [email protected] but with that one, I guess you will have to ask for separate communities per feed and the admin does care about the type of content it would be pulling

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, and I see the sources I wanted are already there, so there’s no need to post my own.

I think upvotes are stupid in the first place since Lemmy doesn’t personalize the feed based on the upvotes like many other social media. You would achieve pretty much the same results scoring posts based on views and comments.

That’s exactly what happens in reddit though? If you have too many users and too few admins you have things like karma minimums and bot mods, I haven’t had any trouble commenting as a new user on discourse, so I find your experience a bit weird.

Yes? But I mean I would like sites like Discord and Twitter to sort discussions like that.

Discourse Moderation System — assigns user privileges based on five trust levels (0 to 4), where new users start at level 0 with limited abilities and, as they gain experience and participation, they progressively earn more rights to moderate and contribute, with level 4 users having nearly full community moderation powers short of staff status.

Reddit Nested/Threaded Comments — A tree-style comment system that visually nests replies, making conversation threads easier to follow in complex discussions.

I asked perplexity and just copy pasted the command in the terminal and it worked.
