I suspect the meaning is obvious and I’m just being a silly goose, but I’ve just been sort of bouncing around among them, since I’m not quite sure of the difference.
- Active: popular recent posts that people still engage in by posting comments
- Hot: popular recent posts but cares more about rating than comments
- Top X: Top rated posts in the last X hours/days

Thank you!!! That makes sense - so just checking, Top X is like “Hot”, but over a certain time period instead of “recent”? (In that it cares about rating instead of how many comments are being posted?)
Seems like bouncing between Active and Hot is still a good thing to do then maybe. To see whatever people are discussing as well as whatever the most upvoted stuff is.
Hot uses an algorithm that cares a little about comment count, but top doesn’t care about comments at all. Top just shows you the highest rated posts in order that have been posted within that time frame and that’s it.
Got it! That makes sense, thank you.
This helped me too. Thanks silly goose.

Glad I wasn’t the only silly one!
Hot seems to be the way to go for me, unless I’m in a single community and sorting by new.
I read your comment and all I can see is you are a Hot New Single.
In your area
Thanks for asking so I didn’t have to
