I’m noticing an issue where the posts on the front page have been the same for a few days now, excluding the pinned Stubsack post. The default “Active” sorting mode seemingly fails to update its ranking of the posts. I see new posts when switching to “New” mode, but “Active” and “Hot” just show stuff from 5 or 6 days ago.
The comment ordering seems similarly static, and I feel like the default “Hot” algorithm isn’t prioritizing new comments like it used to, but it’s harder to tell if it’s bugged or not since older comments tend to have more upvotes, as do the higher up sorted comments.
The same thing happens on mobile and desktop. Is this just my end or are others noticing the same?
Same, apart from the stubsack all top posts are 5-6 days old. Wish the choice of sorting algo was persistent.
You should have an option to change the default algo in your user settings.
found it! thanks!
