Why am I seeing tons of posts that are years old showing up when sorting by "hot"?

Why are these super old posts "hot" all of a sudden?

This is a support/how to use Lemmy question and would be a better fit in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

IDK, but it took me a good 30s touching the posts in your screenshot trying to figure out wth was happening.

That's one reason I don't like any view that loads the full picture, I just like to see the thumbnail then decide if I want to see the whole thing.

Recent upvotes, right?

Are you using wefwef? Maybe try Memmy as I found the ordering of posts varies a lot from app to app

ThisIsNecessary@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Yes it's wefwef, but I found the same happening in Liftoff too

I've seen this happen on Jerboa too

It depends on the instance you use, not the app you choose.

It’s happening in Memmy as well.

What app is this?

ThisIsNecessary@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Wefwef. Did the same in Liftoff too though so I didn't think it was necessarily an app issue

Means they have active comments I believe.

As far as I can tell 'Hot' is just broken
