Was just browsing my favorite communities, commenting on posts I found really interesting, and engaging with other users who wanted to have conversations.

… and not a single paid ad in my feed. I effing love this platform.

Ah, that's why I see heavily downvoted posts near the top.

I wonder if it would make sense to randomly sort for the first couple hours, and then sort by that metric afterward. That would further limit the first mover advantage in more popular communities.

Regardless, lemmy's sort seems to be fine with the scale it's currently at.
