They need mark as read too. I keep seeing the same stuff.

If it helps, there's a "Show Read Posts" toggle in your account settings- I believe "Read" is based on having ⬆️ / ⬇️ed the post.
Something feels wrong but I normally just browsed "best" on reddit and that was a curated list of top subs. So it's weird to me to sort Lemmy by "Hot" and get a ton of posts from random communities with no upvotes or replies. Which they are obviously not HOT as no one has engaged with them except the OP.
I feel like something is "off" with the way it is curating things.
Running a personal selfhosted instance. Subscribed to a lot of communities, however Hot still shows me posts from a year ago? It’s weird to say the least. Personally I am switching Active, Hot, and Top Day to keep up with things
So far hot has worked pretty well for me. Haven't really ran into the issues you mentioned with posts not having that many interactions near the top of hot, unless it's from a smaller community. My main problem I've had is when opening Lemmy after a bit or refreshing I'll get the same posts over again even if they're marked as read which is annoying and usually means I end up sorting by new. Would be nice if there was an option to hide already read posts. (Or if there already is one I'd be very interested in knowing where it is, also I use Jerboa mainly on Android so not sure if that changes anything either.)

I want to make 100% sure that in “Hot” you don’t just see big communities. I want to always see that one post from that one community with 1 user right at the top. So they should weight by community size.
Sorting by new comments gives posts with no comments! Pretty big annoyance for me tbh.
