I’ve been getting years old content in mine. Sandwiched in between posts from a couple hours ago.
Same. It would be nice if “hot” was a combo of upvotes and post activity. Popping a 3 month old post that has similar upvotes to a 3 hour old post is weird.
Which is made even funnier by the fact that 99% of Lemmings didnt even know what Lemmy was 3 momths ago. Lol
Can’t wait to see this post randomly on the front page a year from now
New goal right here.
See you then!
@remindme@mstdn.social 1 year
@IverCoder Here is your reminder!
@IverCoder Ok, I will remind you on Thursday Aug 1, 2024 at 8:08 PM PDT.
3 month? I’ve been getting 2 year old posts as Hot.
And it happens again, different posts
Liftoff has been working alright for me. All hot stuff is recent
I’ll try liftoff later today, if that helps
Lemmy newbie here, it’s all new to me lol
The algorithm was right.
Top 12 hours is my boyyy
I agree, top Day gives me too much that I saw already, but top twelve? ✋😘👌 *Chef’s kiss
And as you get increasingly habitual through the day, 6 and then hour. Needing a 5 minute one by EOD
I’m on 6 rn, nice dosage, just don’t overdo it you’ll be fine
Using this right now - makes things seem much more alive and kicking

I start with active but when it’s all old stuff I change it.
I find a lot of the jank with this site charming in an “early 2000s” kind of way, and assuming the site(s) continue(s) to develop I will eventually be nostalgic for it.
Weird parentheses because I’m not sure how to refer to federated sites.
I agree. It’s just also fun to make fun of it, lol
“detecting hot content in your area”
I’ve seen quite a few of these posts with recent comments on them, so that might be kicking these posts back into the Hot feed.
That might be it, but “having some recent comments” still is a bit of a weak criterion to be considered “hot”.
I’m admittedly new, but I thought that was the difference between Hot and Active.
Active is for any activity, so comments on a 3y post are fair game. It’s actually kind of a cool filter that offers the classic “forum” style that revives old posts, rather than the reddit style of “anything older than 12 hours is dead to everyone”
bump
Kek this really rustled my jimmies
LOL, BEANS, amirite, guys!?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=PQHPYelqr0E
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
To me, it seems like hot is stuff that’s being clicked on by people in your instance.
And then top day seems to pull data for all instances for posts on the All feed
I made an alt account and followed communities that no-one had been to on that instance, spend like 5 minutes longer on one community than the others, and my WHOLE hot page was almost every post from that community. I went to top day and the posts were in the same order they were on another instance for top day.
I was going to say I haven’t had any issues, but then remembered I only sort by New and Top…
Meanwhile it works properly over at lemm.ee
Think it’s a syncing problem? Lemm.ee is pretty big, so it probably pulls more content with its larger userbase.
Maybe, but I’d say it’s more that the admin is top notch with his configuration. He regularly contributes to the main codebase.
Yes how the heck is this still happening?
This post is a day old and I see it in my hot & subscribed feed! And I don’t even subscribe to this community. I’ve had it blocked actually. lol
Mastodon had some weird technical issues back in November 2022 when its user base grew exponentially. The same will happen here too, most likely. They’ll get sorted out in time, just stick with it.
