It is very mathy but here’s the algo they use to rank content: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

Might explain a bit of why things are at certain places for a time.

I noticed this as well, it makes the web app almost unusable when sorting by all.

It doesn’t happen on the mobile app (Jerboa) tho.

There is an open issue about that. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008

Go to settings - Sort type - choose Hot (or anything other than active)

*even when sorted by hot or top/day
