Comment on New communities and flooding the feed
Spzi@lemm.ee 1 year agoa new post would be at the top and then each comment would “bump” the post to the top again.
That might be a fitting description of the current behaviour, yes. But the doc you linked only mentions the last part. It does not specify wether new posts with no comments are sorted top or bottom. I expected it to sort them bottom, since a post with no comments has no “New Comments”.
if everyone uses that then who will be the first one to comment on any post?
Yes, but not everyone uses that. I switch between different sorting types. Sometimes I am the first to comment.

it’s not spelled out clearly, but it does say “analogous to the sorting of traditional forums”, they could make that doc more clear (maybe you should take a shot at improving the phrasing? github.com/LemmyNet/…/03-votes-and-ranking.md )
