MODERATORS
I feel like there is a potential but minor problem with Lemmy's algorithm. It favors new comments but what if the post itself is asking a question with a definitive answer? The best answers might get buried by side discussion as time goes on.
I think as time goes on, I'd assume the recency boost would subside and the upvotes for the definitive answers should float back to the top.
Also, length is probably favoured as well, since so many top content isn't just 3 words.
