It's worth noting that Reddit itself has always been rather terrible at this. Some third-party clients fixed the problem, but on the website there'd be many subs that would never appear in my feed.
For the purposes of ordering a feed, a count of upvotes should be considered relative to either the total count of its magazine's subscribers or the magazine's average upvote count.
Edit: […] the magazine's rolling average upvote count over the last n days.
I don't know if you have expertise in the area but I'd be interested in different ways of ordering the feed (including the ones you listed):
There are probably dozen other ways to do this as well.
I don't have expertise here. I do like your ideas, particularly upvotes relative to views. The strength of the upvotes:views ratio indicator should be a function of views, where upvotes:views increasingly matters as the view count grows. 0 upvotes of 1 view doesn't mean much at all. (Note though that currently our view count seems to exclude other instances, as I have a recent post with more upvotes than views.)
Implicit in all of these is a time function whereby recentness is a main factor.
