What is the difference between "Active", "Hot", and "Top Hour/Day/etc" when browsing Lemmy posts?
I suspect the meaning is obvious and I'm just being a silly goose, but I've just been sort of bouncing around among them, since I'm not quite sure of the difference.
You're viewing a single thread.
Related question: is "Hot" super buggy? I am on 0.18.0, but I still often see really really really old posts (1 year old, 2 years old) sprinkled in with new stuff, and I often see clusters of 5-10 posts of a single community grouped together.
I have to pay extra attention to the post age because of this.
this happens to me as well.
Yeah I’m not sure what the algorithm is taking into account in deciding “hot.” Seems it is “recent views but only because the formula fed this old stuff to the last few rounds, too.”
