Not sure if this fits here, feel free to remove if not.
I’m sure the algorithm must be working as intended, but I always see a lot of rapid-fire posts under each other when browsing “Hot”. Is this normal or am I missing a setting?

The formula for hot is something like
upvotes - downvotes - age^2Often, votes can’t keep up with the square on the age.
Old Reddit used the same formula without the square. That worked much better.
Would be cool if we could define our own custom algorithm, but I guess that might be taxing the servers to much if we could.
