Why am I seeing tons of posts that are years old showing up when sorting by "hot"?

Why are these super old posts "hot" all of a sudden?

Was wondering the same 🤔

IDK, but it took me a good 30s touching the posts in your screenshot trying to figure out wth was happening.

That's one reason I don't like any view that loads the full picture, I just like to see the thumbnail then decide if I want to see the whole thing.

Are you using wefwef? Maybe try Memmy as I found the ordering of posts varies a lot from app to app
