What is the proper "Default sort" for the best experience (sh.itjust.works)

Hi All, Salut à tou.te.s

So, by default, the "front-page" whatever how it's called is sorted by "Active" which is showing mostly one week old post, you know the big strike.

I know that I can sort by "new" but is there something more suited to see the recent but popular thread ?

In theory I like the idea of Active, but in practice the time weighted sorting doesn't seem to decay quickly enough.

Lemm.ee has fixed the active tab I think. Check it out to see if it's different than your experience.

Do you know if they're just resetting their instance at regular intervals?

Yes. I think I read on dev posts this was exactly what they were doing, setting up a cronjob that restarts the refresher.

Have you heard of any federation issues with doing this?

Yes. I read there were small issues arising from this, probably hiccups in synchronization during sync downtime and re-ask. I reckon a few items get delayed in sync, including a few votes, comments and posts.
