Weird thing has started to happen the last day or two. My Subscribed flow is suddenly filled with old posts. For example this: https://lemmy.ml/post/46651
There are no replies that are even close to as old as the post itself is which indicates that something fishy is going on. Someone got the post in their flow now and therefore started to reply to it.
This is just one example of many in my flow right now…
So is there a bug or something going on?
I got a 3 year old post come up on “hot” and “all” yesterday. It was about 15 posts down, definitely on the first page of results as it were. The post had one comment from someone the day before, but like OP said, these posts are still showing up for someone first.
