I've been getting years old content in mine. Sandwiched in between posts from a couple hours ago.
Same. It would be nice if βhotβ was a combo of upvotes and post activity. Popping a 3 month old post that has similar upvotes to a 3 hour old post is weird.
Which is made even funnier by the fact that 99% of Lemmings didnt even know what Lemmy was 3 momths ago. Lol
Can't wait to see this post randomly on the front page a year from now
I find a lot of the jank with this site charming in an "early 2000s" kind of way, and assuming the site(s) continue(s) to develop I will eventually be nostalgic for it.
Weird parentheses because I'm not sure how to refer to federated sites.
I agree. It's just also fun to make fun of it, lol
I was going to say I haven't had any issues, but then remembered I only sort by New and Top...
To me, it seems like hot is stuff that's being clicked on by people in your instance.
And then top day seems to pull data for all instances for posts on the All feed
I made an alt account and followed communities that no-one had been to on that instance, spend like 5 minutes longer on one community than the others, and my WHOLE hot page was almost every post from that community. I went to top day and the posts were in the same order they were on another instance for top day.
Meanwhile it works properly over at lemm.ee
Think it's a syncing problem? Lemm.ee is pretty big, so it probably pulls more content with its larger userbase.
Maybe, but I'd say it's more that the admin is top notch with his configuration. He regularly contributes to the main codebase.
Yes how the heck is this still happening?
Mastodon had some weird technical issues back in November 2022 when its user base grew exponentially. The same will happen here too, most likely. They'll get sorted out in time, just stick with it.
This post is a day old and I see it in my hot & subscribed feed! And I don't even subscribe to this community. I've had it blocked actually. lol
When your post is so cold it overflows back to being super hot
It's like when I've finally gotten so ugly people can't look away instead of trying not to look.
The 'All' tab shows you content your instance pulled from other instances. Your instance only pulls content from other instances when people subscribe to communities and are viewing their subscription page.
You being shown old content on 'All' means your instance is seldom pulling new content.
There are three ways to fix this:
Subscribe to everything yourself. Then your instance will pull content from the communities you subscribed to.
Switch to a more populated instance. Then the 'All' tab will have more diverse content.
Accept that the 'All' tab on Lemmy does not work like reddit's /r/all. You can't doom-scroll on Lemmy like you could on reddit.
It's weird, because I'm subscribed to a TON. Hundreds of communities at least. I can't imagine that it's running out so quickly.

New goal right here.
See you then!
@remindme@mstdn.social 1 year
@IverCoder Ok, I will remind you on Thursday Aug 1, 2024 at 8:08 PM PDT.
3 month? I've been getting 2 year old posts as Hot.
And it happens again, different posts
Liftoff has been working alright for me. All hot stuff is recent
I'll try liftoff later today, if that helps
Lemmy newbie here, it's all new to me lol
The algorithm was right.
Top 12 hours is my boyyy
I agree, top Day gives me too much that I saw already, but top twelve? βππ *Chef's kiss
And as you get increasingly habitual through the day, 6 and then hour. Needing a 5 minute one by EOD
I'm on 6 rn, nice dosage, just don't overdo it you'll be fine
Using this right now - makes things seem much more alive and kicking
