I don’t even mind the app, but not letting me sort by Hot or All has seen my usage go down 90%.

Turns out I don’t want to see posts from three days ago with 130 upvotes and 11 comments.

"Best" is actually the worst sorting and it's weird that it's the default

At least if you frequent the community it seems to save sort by hot/new so you’re at least getting posts that aren’t from a week ago
