Comment on On the relevance of upvotes in relation to quality and discussion
Pro@programming.dev 5 weeks agoI keep saying it in this thread, any solution would work better than no solution at all.
If anyone has a better system, let them lay it out and then we can discussed and improve it.
Otherwise, looking for perfect solutions without actually implementing any one of them is going to lead to unneeded analysis paralysis for fediverse developers without solving the issue at all.

I think it’s a matter of sorting. Do you know how does it work? I don’t. Would be interesting to know. Why exactly those posts are shown in the feed? Is it “sort all by upvotes count descending”? Probably not, because this way you will get popular post from previous year. Is it “same, but filtered to those posted within last week”? Probably not. I think interacting with lemmy’s api can shed some light on this topic. Probably you can use whatever sorting you like.
