Is this normal? Seems like "Hot" would refer to posts within the last ~6 hours or so...

Yeah, I've read the 'hot' is broken. Lots of bugs still to be ironed out. They're working on it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

This is fixed in the upcoming 0.18 release

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Go for new instead, its always fresh! Once the bugs get sorted hot will be the goto again.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t like new due to the amount of hentai i see in there lol

Turn off your NSFW setting in your user profile.

Or just subscribe to communities you do want to see, then use the subscribed tab.

I've opened a GitHub issue asking for a way to hide NSFW communities in All (without having to turn off NSFW entirely)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think the NSFW tag has to be more sharp, like only literal porn or gore is tagged NSFW. One of the most frustrating thing on r*ddit was that regular memes or text posts would get tagged as NSFW just for containing a swear word or something, so turning NSFW completely off would hide a ton of regular stuff too.

The problem with subscribing to communities at this point is the lack of content. I subscribed to a few different baseball communities, but none of them have anything other than maybe a welcome post or a few gameday posts without any comments. Communities are duplicated on a bunch of different instances too, which makes things a million times harder than it needs to be. I have no idea if one of the half dozen baseball communities I'm in now will make it big, if a new one entirely will make it big, or if they're all doomed to never have content.

Eh, Reddit had similar problems in the earliest days. One will win out. Not ideal, but it will get better.

Be the one to post! Invite people to discuss, and crosspost to other relevant communities so more people know the comm exists!

People won't post if no one's posting. It's a vicious cycle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm trying to post at least once everyday on my local community to help build the interest. Someone has to make the content haha. Try to do the same. It doesn't really matter which one you pick, just keep posting to it. You can subscribe to them all and comment on them all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know that is entirely fair haha. I was thinking the same thing when I first started but I realized you can block instances as they come up and you won't see them anymore, now that I've done it awhile they rarely comeup.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can block instances

Slight correction (not to be pedantic, we’re all learning here): you can currently block communities, but not instances. (Apparently being able to block instances at the user-level is coming)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah yes that's right, I have to stop using instance and community interchangeably lol

I just saw your post from 1m ago at the top of my feed sorting by Hot. Maybe it is lag

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, hot is confirmed broken in certain edge cases. Here's the github issue about it. It's gonna be fixed in v0.18

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think "Hot" is broken for large instances. I am using a small instance and "Hot" seems to be working fine. I see frequent posts that were posted within the last hour.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah works fine for me too

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think something's broke. I've been noticing the same thing and was wondering if it was just me. Maybe super lag from the influx of users, or something broke.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Same here, all posts older than 24hrs. Found this one by sorting by top/day

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yup. All my posts in hot are now more than a day old

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Hopefully it gets fixed soon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sort by top of the day, this isn't reddit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was literally broken though. Check the GitHub links shared elsewhere in this thread. All fixed now though thankfully.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, didn't know that

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm sorting by hot right now.... and this post is currently 4 hours old

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm just using the New view right now. Won't be sustainable once the amount of content on Lemmy grows, but it's working for now...
