Is there very little content on Lemmy or is the sorting algorithm used by either Lemmy or Jerboa not working super great?

When sorting by all instances > all communities > hot, I get as the top post a 20 votes, 1 comment post. Just 5 or so posts below, a 5 votes and 0 comments post.

If I sort by active instead, I see two day old posts.

Should I be sorting differently?

EDIT: Nevermind, I wasn't using my brain. All good on any instance using lemmy 0.18. Just need to wait for Jerboa to update. I was about to delete the post, but maybe other people were thinking the same, so I'll keep it so they can read this. Just wait for Jerboa to update, next version should be much better in this regard.

There are about 35k active users on all instances combined (according to https://the-federation.info/platform/73, note that I mean "active" users, not total). That is a minuscule amount compared to even average-size subreddits. Give it time, and be part of the content-producers.

If you count kbin it probably takes us at least over 50k. Though there is a bug right now where all their users are showing as active.
