Lemmy newbie here, it’s all new to me lol
The algorithm was right.
Meanwhile it works properly over at lemm.ee
Think it’s a syncing problem? Lemm.ee is pretty big, so it probably pulls more content with its larger userbase.
Maybe, but I’d say it’s more that the admin is top notch with his configuration. He regularly contributes to the main codebase.
The ‘All’ tab shows you content your instance pulled from other instances. Your instance only pulls content from other instances when people subscribe to communities and are viewing their subscription page.
You being shown old content on ‘All’ means your instance is seldom pulling new content.
There are three ways to fix this:
- Subscribe to everything yourself. Then your instance will pull content from the communities you subscribed to.
- Switch to a more populated instance. Then the ‘All’ tab will have more diverse content.
- Accept that the ‘All’ tab on Lemmy does not work like reddit’s /r/all. You can’t doom-scroll on Lemmy like you could on reddit.
It’s weird, because I’m subscribed to a TON. Hundreds of communities at least. I can’t imagine that it’s running out so quickly.

That might be it, but “having some recent comments” still is a bit of a weak criterion to be considered “hot”.
I’m admittedly new, but I thought that was the difference between Hot and Active.
Active is for any activity, so comments on a 3y post are fair game. It’s actually kind of a cool filter that offers the classic “forum” style that revives old posts, rather than the reddit style of “anything older than 12 hours is dead to everyone”
bump
Kek this really rustled my jimmies
To me, it seems like hot is stuff that’s being clicked on by people in your instance.
And then top day seems to pull data for all instances for posts on the All feed
I made an alt account and followed communities that no-one had been to on that instance, spend like 5 minutes longer on one community than the others, and my WHOLE hot page was almost every post from that community. I went to top day and the posts were in the same order they were on another instance for top day.
I’ve been getting years old content in mine. Sandwiched in between posts from a couple hours ago.
Same. It would be nice if “hot” was a combo of upvotes and post activity. Popping a 3 month old post that has similar upvotes to a 3 hour old post is weird.
Which is made even funnier by the fact that 99% of Lemmings didnt even know what Lemmy was 3 momths ago. Lol
3 month? I’ve been getting 2 year old posts as Hot.
And it happens again, different posts
Liftoff has been working alright for me. All hot stuff is recent
I’ll try liftoff later today, if that helps
How does this even happen?
When your post is so cold it overflows back to being super hot
It’s like when I’ve finally gotten so ugly people can’t look away instead of trying not to look.
“detecting hot content in your area”

This post is a day old and I see it in my hot & subscribed feed! And I don’t even subscribe to this community. I’ve had it blocked actually. lol

Yes how the heck is this still happening?
