I took a look at your project! It's very interesting. I hope it works out! I think the problem that you're working on is probably very difficult to solve.

Yes, evalRSS lists content in reverse chronological order in your feed by default. The "top" sorting options just filter out the entries submitted before the last n days and order by total votes. I think that displaying the number of comments each entry has is an excellent idea and I would definitely consider adding a read/unread status message to the entries.

To be completely honest, I have a bias against complex recommender systems because they frighten me. I'm not sure how to build one without assuming that people have some kind of static preference function, which feels like it can't be correct. So, I've been leaving content prioritization as a problem for my future self to solve. There could very well be some fancy mathematical technique to account for this, but I wasn't a good enough student to be familiar with it.
