The past couple updates whenever I’m browing “all” with sort set to “hot” the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
Yea this is a Lemmy issue, not an app-specific issue.
“Top 6 hours” has been giving the best experience to me. Hope they fix the “hot” bug though.
This is a known issue in Lemmy : https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3428
Looks like a fix will be available in the next release:
I’m having this issue as well. Tons of years old posts.
This is just a guess as I haven’t looked at the source code for anything, but I think this is because instances may take a long time to get all the old posts from a community when they first start getting ActivityPub updates from it (when a user first subscribes to the remote community). When sorting by hot, it seems like the time the post was received via ActivityPub is used for sorting instead of the time it was originally created.
