Only seen it the past hour or so but I’ve already set it as my default. It seems to work exactly as I’d hoped where smaller but no less interesting communities get their posts higher in my feed.
This could be a huge change and I think lemmy would benefit from those of us caring about the idea being vocal about it and assessing its efficacy.
It’s very possible this will change once this rolls out more broadly simply because the overall activity on smaller communities will increase substantially. I suspect a lot of people will make it a habit to check this sort but the overall size of these communities will probably not see a huge increase.
