It's also preventing smaller subs from being discovered and growing.
Seems there's a PR for a "best" sorting option, which sorts by the top post from each sub, and then the second place post from each sub, and so on.
Sounds perfect.
I haven't looked at the PR, but if it's really that simple, that doesn't seem like the full solution. I don't particularly want a sub with 10 users popping up on the front page after 3 upvotes just because it got to the top of that sub. Sub weight, as mentioned in the top comment here, should probably be taken in to account.
That's honestly exactly what I would want.
Then don't subscribe to that 10 person sub?
Doesnβt stop them from showing up via All and Local, which is what I want to do without having the completely block these communities. Just my preference.
