Scaled sort seems broken for small communities (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Whenever I subscribe to a small but very active community, for example lefty_news@ibbit.at, my Scaled sort feed gets flooded almost entirely by posts from that one community. I thought Scaled sort was supposed to highlight outliers across all communities to prevent a single instance from dominating the feed. Is this a bug or just how it's supposed to work?

This is a known issue and will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5210
