The way in which the Active and Hot filtering has been stale for days on end has been bugging me so much since I started using Lemmy. I’ve been scrolling past these 3 posts in that exact order every day since they first appeared 4 days ago. Is there any way to fix this?
Active is more like forums, where the comments are taken into account. So new comments push it back up towards the top.
Hot seems bugged, for me, it mostly shows me new posts but I know for others it’s showing older ones.
On smaller instances you can just use new, or Top Day

A few hours ago a fix was merged for this problem. The cause is that when a post from another server was added to the database the rank was not calculated correctly. It should fix itself after a week but I just did a recalculation of of the ranks manually and now hot is finally usable. With version 1.18.0 it should be resolved for good.
