What’s the difference between active and hot and how does sorting work in general? I sorted by active and all instances and my page reloads and the entire thing is three month old posts from lemmygrad. How exactly does this whole thing work?

    From what I can gather, “hot” is somewhat recent posts that are being upvoted, and “active” are posts, regardless of age, which are currently generating a lot of interaction, whether upvotes or comments.

      But none of these random lemmygrad posts had comments or upvotes?

        I can’t really help you there, my instance blocked lemmygrad so I don’t see any of their content anyway.
