It’s interesting but wouldn’t the most active community out of the bunch take dominance of the feed?
For example you have community “xyz” who is on lemmy world and has 100 posts a day and then you have the other “xyz” community on lemmy ee who has 500 posts a day. The one on lemmy ee would take the feed and essentially become the most popular one, this would make the other community basically disappear as everyone would move to the more active one.
Scaled is better, but it’s by no means perfect. It also likes to show posts with 0-3 comments on them that are < 1 hour old. I’ve found that if I just open the tab and let it chill for 30 minutes then come back to it you can get some actually good content.
If they kept the original scaled as like scaled new, and make a scaled hot or something I’d be much more interested. I don’t want to be the first to comment most of the time.

Edit: spelling corrections
I think it would be better to use a flexible tagging system so things can trend organically, like Mastodon.
We have the “scaled” sort that was made precisely to account for this. Try it on your subscribed feed

This could be mitigated by sorting the posts by votes and activity relative to the community-size.
