Irrelevant, old, posts in hot
Irrelevant, old, posts in hot
Is it just me?
My hot it full of months, or even years old posts that have almost no upvotes or comments. Why are they there?
And unlike actually "hot" posts they don't seem to want to go away. Is this a bug? I'm not seen any discussion on it, not even on github.
You're viewing a single thread.
Its a known bug and 0.18 already improved it a bit. O.18.1 will hopefully fix it completely. For now the instance admin can restart the Lemmy backend to renew the stalled hot sorting.
This ain't that. Before it would freeze entirely and keep the same posts for days.
Now, it's updating, and showing brand new posts, but also posts from YEARS ago.
Yes I am aware, but I talked to one of the developers and apparently it has the same root cause.
And I can definitly see that restarting the backend temporarily fixes it.
I'm on 0.18.1-rc.1 and I'm still seeing it.
Hmm, better make a specific bug report then ASAP.
