Active and hot or even new comments as these currently stand become stale real quick, hopefully, there will be a new api for the devs to use.

    I was just saying in another thread I feel like Hot is pretty decent compared to a couple of days ago.

    Active I’m not too sold on, but yeah more options would be great.

      Active shows me posts from 2-3 days ago. Fairly useless unless you only check Lemmy like once every few days or once a week.

        Yea, give hot a go for a bit. Not everything is mega commented on after a while but hey……this ain’t Reddit, and OPs and lurkers appreciate it 🫡

    on a similar i’d love to see an option to set a preferred way of sorting comments

    not sure if it’s been talked about before but i’m still so used to comments sorted by top

    Top 1 hour, 6 hours and 12 hours options are available on programming.dev - really improves the experience for me

    Yes there seem to be plenty of instances that have sort by top hour/6hour/12 hour/… /all time when you visit them directly through a browser but wefwef limits it in their interface (I’m sure not intentionally).

    I’m used to using various top options from reddit a lot so this pushing me to other apps that have that functionality.

    Overall wefwef is a one of the most impressive web based apps I’ve had the pleasure of using and will likely be back if some more customizable sorting becomes available.
