Why is the front page suddenly so stale? (self.main)

The All feed on both Hot and Active modes is exactly the same as it was most of a day ago, all the same posts in the same order, except they're all 12h+ old now. At first I thought federation might not be working due to overload, but on New posts are coming in all the time, both local and remote.

What's up?

I think a lot of new users are coming in and interacting with the first post they see, which is usually the post at the top of the “hot” feed. In turn, this keeps the “hot” posts up longer because of the constant interaction.

I expect it’ll cycle through within the week once the blackout is up.
