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?
