Lemmy: Possibility: Change post hot rank to use newest comment time, rather than post published time.

[dessalines]

Because of the typical reddit sorting algorithm used here, threads essentially die after a day or two and no one ever sees them again, so the chances of an old thread actually showing up on the front page are none.

On the other hand, letting a new comment bump a really old post, might not be ideal, as someone could just comment on a bunch of old threads and make them show up on everyone's front page.

I'm not sure if this should be done, but it might be a good idea, like a forum, to have the time sort work using post.published_time or most_recent_comment.published_time.

  (
   case when (p.published < ('now'::timestamp - '1 month'::interval)) then p.published
   else max(greatest(c.published, p.published))
   end
  ) as newest_activity_time

Why not make a seperate tab next to subscribed and all with recently commented. The dropdown already has too many options lol.

I was thinking this would be a change for the existing hot rank for posts, everywhere. The new comments thing is #480 , that's different.

We could call it "active" and include all interactions.
