They have been tuning the algorithm for that in the past releases, so may be related to that. Also, there is/was a bug where if you don't restart lemmy (on the server) regularly stuff will get stuck at the top of hot and/or active.

That makes sense, figured itβs some kind of growing pain. Wanted to make sure it wasnβt something on my end. Iβve only noticed if the past couple days.
Keep in mind lemmy was a lot less active when this was initially configured. Growing pains.
- this is not far down the list
You want the support community, not this one.
Broken in 0.17 should be fixed if you're server has upgraded to 0.18.
"Hot" filtering is basically useless at the moment. You have to really look to make sure it's not from years ago. I end up filtering by Most Active, New or New Comments. Seems to work quite well.
