I have my default sort set to “Hot” inside lemmy.world. When I open Jerboa, it shows posts from my subscribed communities sorted by “Hot”, like it’s supposed to. However, whenever I open a community, it show the posts sorted by “Active”, and I have to switch to “Hot”. This is different from the main web site, which uses my default sort when opening a community. Changing the sort inside the app doesn’t change anything - the next time I open any community, it’s sorted by “Active”.
It would be nice if Jerboa was fixed this so communities were sorted by my default sort by default. I’ve made (simple) Android apps before, so I can try looking into it. But mostly I don’t know the appropriate way to add an issue so it gets tracked and fixed eventually.
For the users that upvoted/commented on this, I’d just like to note that it looks like an issue has been created and a fix is ready to get merged in.
Funny you should post this, I was just struggling with the same issue. However I have my default sort as “New” and the content in the community sorts as “Active”. It’s just completely ignoring the default sort.
Ideally it would be nice to have a default sort, then the ability to override the sort by community.
Same with my home feed. Instead of subscribed it always sorts by local.
