When browsing larger communities or the “all” feed, it would make sense to sort by “controversial” or “most comments”, but with the time selector of top (1,3,6 hours…).
Am I the only one missing this sort option? I couldn’t find any feature request regarding this aspect of sorting, please forgive me if I missed something.
Yes, they are pretty useless as they are now.
Here’s the relevant issue on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4340
Thank you. It seems that this is much more complicated than what I thought.
I suppose the solution is quite controversial
If I understood this correct, there would be some options that could improve the performance impact, for example limiting the time range or building indizes. But apparently, it isn’t of a high prio for the devs.
I was just about to ask something similar. Controversial sorting within a community is clearly broken in its current state. You’ll only see ancient posts unless the community is tiny.
I’d say it works as designed. It shows the most controversial posts.
The design is IMO flawed
