The way in which the Active and Hot filtering has been stale for days on end has been bugging me so much since I started using Lemmy. I’ve been scrolling past these 3 posts in that exact order every day since they first appeared 4 days ago. Is there any way to fix this?
A few hours ago a fix was merged for this problem. The cause is that when a post from another server was added to the database the rank was not calculated correctly. It should fix itself after a week but I just did a recalculation of of the ranks manually and now hot is finally usable. With version 1.18.0 it should be resolved for good.
