    Yes there are, or the ‘hot’ and ‘active’ sorting orders wouldn’t exist.

      There are no algorithms that shadow-drop the topic like on other platforms. You knew exactly what I meant when I typed it, but chose a different path.

        Yes, I knew exactly what you meant which is why I challenged it.

        What they were describing is a part of the Lemmy algorithm. Posts with more engagement get higher spots on the Active and Hot sort orders.

        What you said was basically a strawman.
