Right now I have my feed sorted by Hot. The sixth post in my feed is 19 days old, has zero comments, and one upvote. I’m struggling to work out what algorithm is deciding this is a Hot post

    If you set your default sorting method in your settings, it applies it to all pages by default. So your subscribed will also be sorted that way when you might prefer that be sorted by new or active. Then you need to manually choose to sort it differently each time you change between subscribed/local/all.

      Yeah, it makes sense for those pages. I just wasn’t expecting it to apply to my own comments when I go to my profile page as those pages on most sites exist outside of the forum sorting preferences.
