Does "Sort By New Comments" in All work consistently for you? (sh.itjust.works)

[SOLVED! A new POST counts as a new COMMENT. This is obviously not ideal.]

Just harvesting some new subs and find that the majority of subs are very low engagement, so I thought I'd turn on "Sort by New Comments" via Voyager to eliminate any posts with 0 comments.

But those zero-comment posts are still appearing. I don't think they have blocked comment because the comment count is zero...

Anyone have any insight?

If thats the case, why not sort by active?

    My experience is "active" is weighted with too long a time horizon and is mostly worthless to me. A single thread with 100 responses will shoot to the top of "active" even if no one has posted for 2 days.

    The nice balance I've found is "scaled" which seems to weight recency of posts and not so much on the quantity. I've set my Lemmy preference to default to "scaled".

    "New" is also fine, but that sorting will likely only have low engagement because the posts are so new.
