Hi all, a few weeks ago I started noticing a change to the active and hot sorting methods. They show stale topics and I miss the boat on conversations. Seems like something changed and just curious if it’s just me or if others are seeing this too?

          I counted maybe a handful of recent comments. Are there really no other active discussions happening that have more activity? I feel like a threshold for aging out activity was tweaked to included a longer window which would make this seem like it’s the most active even though the majority of the comments are old.

            It only counts the single most recent comment, so a handful of recent comments or just 1 single recent comment makes no difference.

            It’s the combination of most recent comment with the number of upvotes. If this post’s most recent comment is an hour old but the post has 300 upvotes, that’s better than a post with a 10 minute old comment and only 10 upvotes for the post.

            I’m not aware of any recent changes to it but idk for sure.

              That definitely makes sense. I feel like it is a balancing act and definitely won’t please everyone. I just wanted to express my dissatisfaction with all of the sorting methods currently. 😁

              I find myself using top (6 hours) the most recently.
