242 sats \ 5 replies \ @tomlaies 28 Feb 2023 \ on: Daily discussion thread
I just realized I don't understand how the "top" sorting in comments works. If it takes not only number of Sats into account but number of users voting and how old it is too ... then where is the difference to "hot"?
No time decay

i think you missed the trust score of users
new users have less trust and their upvotes thus are taken less into account

Oh but in "top" as well? I thought the "top" sorting was the needy b*tch that wants sats and sats only :D
Anyways, good to know :D

It's not sats only. It does take into account trust.
The difference between hot and top is that hot takes time into account, ie all things being equal more recently posted items rank higher.
