I find it interesting that you perceive this as venom.

User configured. Not company configured. If you want to die on a really, really stupid hill, then yes they are both algorithms.

I like that idea.

I’d also like to be able to set the balance of new/top/hot

Thanks that’s helpful to know. I’ll keep tinkering…

It’s okay for it to die down a bit after a massive influx like we saw from Reddit.

In the long run though, if it isn’t growing it’s dying. Lemmy is still small. If it succeeds at what it’s trying to do, it should definitely grow.

It’s a little worrying that we can’t grow faster than the novelty-die-off rate. But not cause for alarm as yet.
