I haven’t seen a thread on this in a while. I have been going with top day for a while, but it can be hit or miss. Other sorts don’t seem to display as good in terms of balancing quality and quantity. What is your preferred sort for your main feed?

Edit: Realizing that the people who sort new commented before the hot/top/active people, haha

Bogo sort. It has a chance to get it right in almost no time.

Just whatever is the default sort. It’s usually mergesort or quicksort depending on the environment. No way I’m implementing my own
