I believe hot measures the most upvoted recent posts, and active measures the most commented. There were some massively upvoted and commented posts in the last day or two. Probably nothing is coming close to displacing them, and whatever the definition of "recent" is hasn't kicked in enough to push them down the rankings.
Switch to new or top day to see something more dynamic.
New and top day are also giving me the best results. There is more activity than ever, don't be discouraged by the subpar feed algorithm, that can get fixed soon enough
Top day is a good tip. Though I do think something is broken, seems too unlikely that this particular batch of shitposts is so uniquely hot it stays up all day when before the feed was moving quite fast
Oh wow- thanks for that! top day did it for me. That's much better.
If you mostly followed Lemmy.ml communities I think they’ve been getting slammed with traffic and it might be slowing things down.
Yep I notice their sync rate has been really slow
my sort of choice on jerboa is 'new comments'. it gives me a good mix of both new posts with no comments and posts with active discussion. keeps it pretty fresh.
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.
Are you looking at subscribed, local, or all?
all... Subscribed and local seem to be working correctly, some of the posts on them are new
change sorting to "hot"
