Right now I have my feed sorted by Hot. The sixth post in my feed is 19 days old, has zero comments, and one upvote. I'm struggling to work out what algorithm is deciding this is a Hot post

    • Lemmy uses the same Rank algorithm above, in two sorts: Active, and Hot.
      • Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
      • Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.
