Describe the feature you'd like
Is scaled the best name for it on the UI. I saw it, and had no idea what it means. If this is user facing, could there not be a more explicit name for it?
After looking here: LemmyNet/lemmy#3907 It's for inflating smaller communities. This is a great option and many would go for it. In my view it should be the default, but the name is going to mean it isn't used as why would you use something if you don't know what it is or does.
If hot and active imply big, surely balanced would be a better name for this? Balance as in a balance of big and small. Or mixed. Mixed popularity in the case when contextually stacked against active or popular. Maybe even "Diverse" is better due to it showing a diverse range of content.
A scale is like a musical scale, you can go up it, or down it. Scales as in kitchen scales is for weight, but not any implication about what weighs what. The term in common usage does not imply what it is for most English speakers.
