By the way, like all new features, there are some small ways this may not work as expected and we're working on ironing that all out!

  2. Software has a mind of its own. Who am I to decide what's a bug and what's a feature?

Is there anyway to set a default chronofilter?

Not at the moment, but if you describe your use-case it could be possible. Use case is better than feature request because it lets us attempt to address the desired behavior whether or not setting a default chronofilter is the best way to go about it.

Sorry for the late response, I've been out all day and can't make comments on iOS. I was hoping to be able to set "Latest" as my default since I liked it most when posts were ordered chronologically. "Feed" is nice to to up and coming content but I personally prefer the default to be newest first, regardless of score. Hope this helps! (((((and kudos on avoiding the x/y problem)))))

Yeah, this is a reasonable request. For technical reasons it's more likely that you could tune the behavior of "feed" as opposed to having a different default chronotab.

Hi Ben, How does the ranking system works? Is there any CS algorithm in play? Just curious on how you are doing it.
