looking at `listingType=All` with the new `sort=Scaled` on lemmy.ml (which upgraded yesterday to a 0.19 release candidate) you might be surprised at how vast the lemmyverse has become

0.19 brings many improvements but "Adding a scaled sort, to boost smaller communities" is the one I'm most excited about.

you can see it now on lemmy.ml (no account required) here and you'll almost certainly find communities you didn't know existed which you want to subscribe to.

Scaled sorting is amazing. A few comms that I found in the front page, that I genuinely did not know about:

!taqueros@mujico.org (programmer memes from Mexico)
!forecasting@discuss.tchncs.de
!imaginarymerfolk@lemmy.dbzer0.com
!moebius_art@lemmy.mindoki.com
!HistoryDrawings@kbin.social

I'm following the later for sure.

What does Scaled do? I tried to find out but searching gave me nothing.

Thank you! So it's Hot but with a boost to smaller communities.
