YSK: Sorting by 'Hot' instead of 'Active' will show more diverse content on Lemmy
I've seen a few mentions of people feeling like they're constantly seeing the same content when sorting by active, I've since moved to hot, and I'm having a much better time.

Tell your instance admin to restart the Lemmy service every so often. We have ours restart every six hours since that fixes the hot thing breaking and getting stale.
Larger instances might not be able to restart often as it could leave some interactions in limbo.
Thanks for the tip! And I happen to be the admin, lol. I'll set a cron job to restart the lemmy container and see what changes.
I've set it to restart every six hours.
You should know you'll lose the outbound queue of interactions everytime you restart. I was also under the impression that the big this was supposed to be a work around for had been fixed in 0.18.
Great tip!
What command do you use to restart the Lemmy service?
