minus-squareDessalinesOPMAlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 years agoI’m leaning towards splitting these into two sorts. Activity sort, IE its called hot right now. It’ll be default, and its basically hotRank(score, newest_comment_time) Hot sort, which is what we’ve had until last week. Its hotRank(score, post_creation_time)
minus-squarenutomicMAlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 years agoThats where the explanation for the sort options becomes important. And maybe better naming, because those two dont explain it at all.
minus-squareAgreeableLandscapelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 years agoThis is a huge problem with Reddit. New and Top are pretty self explanatory, and everyone’s familiar with Hot (not that it’s well explained either), but what exactly is Rising, Controversal, or Best supposed to mean?!

I also like it, but it does not work on mobile.
Good point.
