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!

  1. I'm Canadian
  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.
