Doc Freemo 
Correct me if im wrong but this isnt a top level post but rather a comment on an existing post?
I havent played enough with lemmy to have an opinion. Very disapointed in their leadership though for reasons related to peripheral projects I wont get into.
QWhen you say matodon groups do you mean the group server I wrote several years ago that integrates well with the standard, or did Eugene after years finally implement that feature lately?
So our group server has two components, the group server itself, which is not usually where you will be viewing things or logged in. So no special sorting directly on the group server.
However on our normal server where the users live there is a "group directory" which is how they peruse the groups (as is the case for most fediverse activity). For the group support ont he client side there kinda of storting and filtering yes, but the sorting could be extended a bit to make it more powerful for sure.
Im sure some people lost their minds over that one :)
@freemo You can sort by a lot on lemmy. https://dresden.network/@dichotomiker/111764862662961703
plus: there are downvotes, too.
@Breather@mastodon.online @selzero@syzito.xyz It becomes complicated: Once users have such a top list, mid-aged* posts won't get likes at all. It causes a gap between seen and unseen toots, in that case between top and mid-aged toots. *) Mid-aged posts are affected most by this because there will still be a chronological TL showing the newest posts. Mentioning that, aged posts are less visible already. You could try Lemmy which is a federated reddit fork. There you can sort posts as you like: - Active (default) - Hot - Scaled - New - Old - Most Comments - New Comments - Top Day - Top Week - Top Month - Top Year - Top All Time https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html https://join-lemmy.org/
