I personelly sort top day All which hits the sweet spot of getting still active posts with aldready some activities and it is neither too old or too new. I think it also covers the categories such as hot and active.

      Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

      Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

      Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities

      So Active looks at the most recent comment, How looks at the post date, and scaled looks at posts but also boosts the less active communities so they don’t get buried
