Is there validity in reading a post / text / etc, appreciating it, yet not feeling the urge to like it? (lemmy.world)

I don't even know if it makes that much of a difference on Lemmy. On Reddit, posts with many likes got pushed, but here... I don't know. You don't really collect likes here.

My default sort is Hot because I thought it sorted by upvotes/likes. Is that not the case?

I have no clue. I get shown "trending communities" with zero posts. "Hot" might also be by engagement? Like how many clicks the posts have? Literally no clue
