I think the front page algorithm should show more newer posts.

Alright I just reduced the hot seconds by 20%, so the front page should change more often now. We actually had it on 36 hours, now it's down to 30 hours. Now that we have enough comments and stuff it can support the faster change. We'll continue adjusting that down as we get more traffic. Thanks

Could probably be reduced way lower since hot should probably be for more temporary stuff while using top with 24 hour setting shows the biggest posts of the day. At least that's how i like to use Reddit.

Well if it gets reduced too much there are a lot of downsides so I'd rather change it gradually
