+- Lemmy uses the same `Rank` algorithm above, in three sorts: `Active`, `Hot`, and `Scaled`.
   - `Active` uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
   - `Hot` uses the post votes, and the post published time.
+  - `Scaled` is similar to `Hot`, but gives a boost to smaller / less active communities.
 - Use Max(1, score) to make sure all comments are affected by time decay.
 - Add 3 to the score, so that everything that has less than 3 downvotes will seem new. Otherwise all new comments would stay at zero, near the bottom.
 - The sign and abs of the score are necessary for dealing with the log of negative scores.

 - **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
 - **New**: Shows most recent posts first
 - **Old**: Shows oldest posts first
 - **Most Comments**: Shows posts with highest number of comments first
