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.
There’s a PR open for a better sort algo, so once everything is working well with it, then yes.
