Lemmy feeding 4 & 5 day old content on the front page.
The way in which the Active and Hot filtering has been stale for days on end has been bugging me so much since I started using Lemmy. I've been scrolling past these 3 posts in that exact order every day since they first appeared 4 days ago. Is there any way to fix this?

Reposting my comment from another thread to spread awareness:
There is a bug in 0.17.4 that stops front pages from updating shortly after the server is restarted, thus resulting in “hot” and "active" showing stale posts.
I have fixed this issue on https://lemm.ee already, you can check our front page to see fresh posts. The fix will soon land in the main Lemmy codebase as well so other instances can take advantage, you can track the issue here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I have also advised other instance admins that regularly restarting their Lemmy server will work as a band-aid workaround until the proper fix is released, so some admins have already implemented this in order to get their post rankings working again, but the proper fix will come in the next release of Lemmy.
Love it. This is an example of what decentralized means.
Everyone working together towards a common goal.
FOSS devs tackling bugs faster than AAA ad-whore devs 😂
Thanks for your work
How often are new releases made?
Releases can be found here:

Whenever the devs are taking a break from deleting Tiananmen images from lemmygrad.ml
Than you for your work!
Just registered on Lemm.ee--and can't log in. Just get a spinner. I'll try again in a few hours.
