Maybe I'm blind, but is there a setting to change the default sort method for comments? It always defaults to "hot" and I want to default to "top". It's kind of annoying to have to click "top" every single time I open a comment section.

Never understood this on Reddit either… What’s the difference between “Top” and “Hot”?

"Top" sorts by comments with the most upvotes. "Hot" are new comments that are receiving upvotes quickly (at least on Reddit).

"Hot" has some time-weighting, while "Top" is strictly ordered by karma
