Right now I have my feed sorted by Hot. The sixth post in my feed is 19 days old, has zero comments, and one upvote. I’m struggling to work out what algorithm is deciding this is a Hot post

    Sorting by anything seems pretty buggy now - growing pains, I guess. I tend to sort by “New comments” and from time to time I’ll get threads with zero comments on top of my feed…

    I’m sure it’s going to get better with time - right now we’re all basically taking part in an extended load test for Lemmy and federation mechanisms :)

      I just use “Top in 6 hours” as a functional substitute for “Hot”.

        True - which seems to be a bug to me, since that’s what studying by New is supposed to show. I do find all the bugs kinda endearing though - reminds me of the internet of old and the time when reddit wax starting :)
