I only just noticed this option for sorting my feed. I do have a reasonably curated selection of large and small and using “scaled” gives the results I would expect across them all.
Give it a go.

This sort was introduced in Lemmy 0.19:
A new scaled sort option has been added. This sort is identical to the Hot sort, but also takes into account the number of each community’s active monthly users, and so helps to boost posts from less active communities to the top.
It’s in Sync as well. I don’t know why I always read complaints about sync not being updated frequently.
Yeah but the option appeared in sync only after around 3 months after the release of Lemmy 0.19
Reddit had sort by rising, which I loved. This is probably the equivalent of that.
Top past 6 hours feels like rising to me, probably because of the small size of Lemmy.
Thanks. I find the terms too vague. It isn’t obvious what Active vs Hot vs Scaled are. I am going to give it a try.
Here’s the page that explains all the sorting options: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
