Comment on What would you want to see this site do differently from Reddit?

There’s already the fact that whatever algorithms there are haven’t been and likely won’t be tweaked or pushed to maximize engagement.
Heck I’m not even sure if upvotes are particularly critical to what I’m getting served…

I really appreciate that about lemmy.
Comments shot from the hip don’t shoot to the top and stay there.
A lot of these communities automatically sort by new, at least when it’s not very populated, or by the so-called hot or active comment sorts. They seem to have a better (less biased?) algorithm in general. To me, that sort practice helps more nuanced, variably informed comments get decent air time. Ya gotta scroll it before you dole amirite?
