It's a pain that search results on lemmy show by default ordered by some useless relevance ranking. I can't think of a single time I didn't want newest first. I couldn't find a preference to request that. It would be great if there was one.

The suggestion on c/support on lemmy.world was to make this kind of request on github, but it seems anti-FOSS to me to require a Microsoft account for a fediverse request, so I'm posting here and hoping for the best.

Thanks for any consideration!

Understood and agreed. It is indeed hard to get volunteers who are paid nothing to pay any attention to what you want.

Shrug, if this gets to the devs I'm sure they'll consider it. The main thing bugging me is the Microsoft angle that their suggested channel requires.

The thing that bothers me is how you’re like a living breathing example of perfect being the enemy of good.

So Microsoft gets $25/mo or whatever it costs to host this repo. And humanity gets Lemmy. Not a bad trade overall. The devil gets his due and the rest of us get loaves and fishes.

But you gotta walk over to where Jesus is handing out loaves and fishes. You can’t just be like “uh can I get mine delivered?”

Sometimes you just gotta give the big evil corporation $25 so millions of people can have a decentralized platform for communicating.
