why am I seeing 2 year old downvoted posts on all? And communist posts?

Does this have to do with the attack

Lemmy's default sort is "Active" - which I believe is "most recent comment activity"

The classic reddit experience is most like the "Hot" sort option.

Lemmy's other weird default is the "feed" which can be all, local, and following. Lemmy defaults to "local", which is probably not what you want (chronological feed of posts on your home server)

Also highly recommend "blocking" communities if you don't want to see their content. (Mostly important if you browse the "All" or "local" feeds)

I’m on hot though

I wasn't sure how to respond to this at the time.

I'm coming back to report that I just saw this.

I was scrolling All + Hot using Connect on Android and saw this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/57957

Judging by the influx of new comments, I wasn't the only one.

I’ve had groups of ‘old’ posts pop up. 3Y, 2Y 10months. That is 3 or 4 posts all quite old, surround by newer posts. Keep scrolling, another group of old posts. All the comments are less than a day old. Also sorting all by hot. Both Voyager (neé wefwef) and Memmy (for Lemmy).

Not weird communities either, ones like Reddit - the one you posted- and also Zelda, antiwork, metal…
