I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.
I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.
I like top by 6 or 12 hours. Usually a pretty good mix of everything until something better comes up. Still tons of memes, but seeing more and more tech/pics/news/politics posts with it.
