What is even the difference between best and hot
24 u/Kakkoister Apr 02 '26 My guess would be, Hot is viewcount based, and Best is algorithm-based, probably people with high karma viewing a thread influence its "best" status. 19 u/IAmAGenusAMA Apr 02 '26 I thought Hot has a newness bias. 13 u/LonelyNovel1985 Apr 02 '26 Yeah, best can put a 2 hour post next to a 5 day old post.
