I’ve seen two approaches to feeds
- order by new posts, so you don’t see new contributions to commentary but you do see the newest memes
- order by new contributions, so you might see too many ongoing conversations but you don’t miss anything
I’m sure there are others. Discourse orders by new contributions - it’s the conversation which is important, not the head post.
I think then this is a feature request, for a configurable option to order by newest topic, not by newest response.
