This doesn’t work like a Sort type, but more like a Limit type. I would expect it to sort by time.

Yes, that’s basically exactly how it works. It’s supposed to show you “the top posts in the last hour”, so I think sorting by score does make sense here.

(In fact, the time range is actually being separated from the “top” sort type in lemmy 1.0.0, so it should be more intuitive then. There’ll just be a “top” sort order, alongside a filter for post time.)

It doesn’t work on “Overview” or “Comments”, only if I limit to “Posts”. So yes, it works on posts, but only if no comments are involved by overview.

Yup. That part definitely looks like a bug.

I have noticed this before. The time range works on the user’s posts, but not on comments.

And nothing is sorted.

It is sorted by score.

That’s fair. Though you should consider that it’s really easy to set up secondary nameservers as a mirror (ns-global, for example, offers such a service). So your own reliability matters less in the end.

On the other hand, Cloudflare is kind of becoming the internet with all the centralization.

Yup. That’s the main reason I avoid using them.

deciding whom to choose for nameservers

This is tangential to your actual question, but why not host your own? I’ve had good experiences with self-hosting an authoritative nameserver for my domains. I personally use BIND (named), but I know someone who does the same with nsd and that also works very well.

edit: actually, might as well add the reasoning behind my choice of TLD, since it’s pretty simple. It’s a .de domain because I’m in Germany :)
