Sorting by "Active" shows posts with 0 comments

I would assume that when I choose "Active" as my front page sorting, I would not see so many posts with no comments. What am I not understanding correctly?

It organises by when they were last posted in."Active" also counts the initial post as a comment, so new posts are by default "active" until comments from other posts dethrone them.

I agree that "Active" should be reworked into prioritising posts with high comment activities generally though. Like /hot/ but more comment-focused.

Is there any other way to filter out 0-comment posts? I feel there's a lot of mass-posting going on, and I'm more interested in the conversation.

Not currently. But I will bring this potential sorting idea to rimu

You can potentially use the "Comments" filter to only show comments

Good idea, thanks.
