I think size of the community should be factored into the ranking, at least a little bit.

Same. I used reddit mostly for smaller communities and the hot algorithm doesn't seem to pick them up here. They're pretty inactive but they do have daily posts. If I don't go directly to that community though, I won't see them. I'm sure these things will be refined over-time.

That was what the popular page was supposed to do. In reality it just made more subs that I'm not interested in rise to the top instead of posts that a lot of people are interacting with. I don't really care about some random sports teams rare upset that day, or a nitch reality tv show episode that randomly popped into the feed. It's just not interesting.

I guess it would be best suited for the Subscribed filter because that would only be topics you're actually interested in.

I believe Reddit's "Best" sorting algorithm did this, but I'm not sure. Looking at it a 4 hour old post with 2 upvotes from a small community is ranked higher than a 3 hour old post with 889 upvotes from a large community.
