Hello all,

Wanted to open a discussion on Lemmy's post sorting options right now. I don't have any experience with implementing this type of thing but right now the algorithm appears... Off? For example, 'Active' gives me a lot of posts over a day old but 'Hot' may as well be 'New' i.e. more recent posts with little engagement.

I don't know if it's due to Lemmy still picking up steam or a fundamental flaw with the algorithm. Like I said, I'm really curious to hear the opinions of those more knowledgeable.

Can someone explain why if I choose All/Hot the first page will look "normal" for a bit, but then it starts updating/scrolling constantly? Like I can't keep my place, new items are continuously being added and I can't even finish reading a headline. I don't see any settings to prevent that. What am I doing wrong?
