Any chance they dump their money into the Fediverse? Any chance the money actually exists? 🤣

The default sorting method is chosen by the instance admins actually (and then a user could change theirs once they sign up).

But maybe the bigger problem is just that people are used to the name "Hot" and how it functions on Reddit. I don't think we should match Reddit's algorithm exactly, but as it is it looks kinda barren and not very "hot".

Perhaps part of the sign-up wizard then? Like add a new section to it saying that FYI terms are different here?

But yeah it could be good to use a different name, if a good replacement could be found?

Like at worst, even just the word "Def" as in Default search mode.
