    From the Docs link available at the bottom right of any lemmy page, in “4. Votes and Ranking” :

    • Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
    • Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

        Both active and hot show me posts from 2 days ago… I have to sort by new to browse anything remotely up to date. I think they need to adjust their algorithm.

          I remember reading an issue where the scheduled task to update hot and active was breaking shortly after reboot. So those lists were getting frozen in time, until the next reboot.

            Correct, it’s currently a bug in Lemmy. Your local instance/server will need to be restarted periodically to keep active and hot updating until it’s fixed.
