    Issue:

    Is it just me, or has “Hot” not refreshed with any new posts in over a day? I know there are posts coming in, but my Subscribed, Local, and All feeds have been static when sorting by “Hot”.

    edit: I think it’s fixed on my end. I’m finally seeing newer stuff when sorting by Hot

      Yeah, hot (and probably active as well) is completely broken at the moment.

      Yeah. For me, lemmy is becoming very boring because of this bug. I only see old posts all day, and I don’t think there are only old posts in Lemmy.

      (I’m going to put one feature/issue in each comment to make it easier to discuss each topic individually, hope that’s ok)

      Issues: As the default sort, “Active” is a self-boosting cycle as well. Active posts show up for everyone, so first-time users participate there, and it stays on active for 4-5 days. This is going to drive users away when they see the same front page after the 2nd or 3rd day. Perhaps “Hot” might be a better default sort?
