How does Lemmy (Mander in particular) sort "hot" and "active" posts? (mander.xyz)

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.

No matter what I do I don't see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.

This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don't even know how this works across federated instances.

Does anyone know:

How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?

Actually there are some comments from other people: https://reddthat.com/post/20632337?scrollToComments=true

Most of them are from LW, so they won't federate before a few days.

The issue is that if one instance has too many updates to send to another one (in this case LW to mander) it starts to create delays.

This mostly happens due to LW size, as you can see Reddthat has no issue

Oh wow, yeah its like night and day. Well now I guess I have to figure out a fix.

Sad times if I have to find another instance, again.

Any ideas what can be done longer term to address this (in general)?

Since I can't see anything here I will check on .world

This bas to be adressed by the mander admins.

For instances, i would suggest lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works

Maybe I should just crosspost this to [email protected]
