    i like the new comment sort since it’s like a hybrid of new and active. yes, 0 comment posts will show up there.

      New comment gives me too many really old posts, like 3 to 7 days old, and there aren’t all that many new comments on them, if you get the posts in the first 6 hours or so you are more likely to get more engagement, which is often the idea unless you are fishing for interesting articles.

        i appreciate the old ones! it’s interesting to see why someone would revive an old post, and there are some (usually active community drama) that can keep going for days and wouldn’t show up anywhere else.

        it occurs to me this most closely mimics old web forum sorts.
