Is it just me or does filtering by "Hot" seemingly give better results than "Active"? (lemmy.ml)

Active seems to order based on discussion length while hot lets you discover newer content that's also popular.

I changed my default settings to hot, since it seems to be better for discovery.

Thank you, that makes sense. My biggest concern here is that "Active" often shows posts that are several days old when new content is already available.
