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!

I don't want the software to interpret the results, I just want to get them sorted newest first without having to click an extra time. Also this being a free software activist project, the idea of adding on a paid feature seems pretty far out of place.

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.
