The issue with this is I also want to be able to see smaller posts that are gaining traction. I wouldn’t mind posts with 2 or 3 upvotes (votes from users other than the poster), but new posts with no upvotes should not be considered hot, and especially not posts with negative points.
That seems a little overkill, especially since it’s a feature I doubt very many people would use. Just having it separate for each account would be sufficient, require less processing power and battery, and less time to code.
