Only seen it the past hour or so but I’ve already set it as my default. It seems to work exactly as I’d hoped where smaller but no less interesting communities get their posts higher in my feed.
This could be a huge change and I think lemmy would benefit from those of us caring about the idea being vocal about it and assessing its efficacy.
So excited for this to roll out, I’m sure it’ll need further tweaks as we go but it’s encouraging to hear positive reports from the start!
It’s one of those things that should get better the more people use. The more people see stuff from the smaller communities they’re interested in, the more votes and activity those posts will see and the higher they will get scored for both the scaled sort and the others too.
