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.

Agreed, active is interesting and may be useful in some situations (maybe if you want to keep up-to-date on new comments on big posts) but I feel like hot lets new posts show up more easily.
