Filtering by New seems to be the best way to view Lemmy. (lemmy.ml)

Over the last few days, it seems that filtering by Hot or Active just makes me see the same posts I've seen over the last few days (stealing memes meme and $4k fridge).

Filtering by New on Lemmy, however, is not the toxic filth that Reddit is, and generally gets the job done.

Unless I am doing something wrong, Hot and Active seem to not update enough / hide what I've already seen. I am doing my Subscribed, about 20 subs.

This has been the same experience for me, Active/Hot shows posts from Monday because they're still gaining comments but New shows genuinely new posts. I think the algorithm may simply not be tuned for tens of thousands of users

Known bug, will be fixed in 0.18. Certain edge cases cause the hot_rank to not decrease, meaning they never leave the front page.

Is there a planned release date for 0.18?

Looks like it depends on the instance as to when they will roll it out I know lemm.ee is currently updating
