Is lemmy working on better default sort options than “hot” and “active”? (lemmy.world)

I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.

I've found "hot" to be really unusable.

Just yesterday I was still getting posts from over a year ago with zero comments every 6-7 posts as I scroll down.

I've had to just go use "top - last 6 hours" to actually find newer posts with comments with active discussions.

I sort by new. It seems to work. There's a severe lack of comments, which I am trying to do my part to rectify.
