It looks like at least some version of 0.18.1 is out, and looking at the changelog, the PR that fixed it is indeed there. I can't find the 0.18.1 changelog for the one we're running, but maybe the PR only made it into a later release? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.18.1
(hot rank update batching being the entry in question)
I'm pretty sure that's not the case. After this long of time, the time decay should have pushed out the older posts by now (I'm seeing almost exclusively 4-5 day old posts on my feed). Using this as reference: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html#:~:text=Lemmy uses the same Rank,and the post published time.
If it really was an issue with Lemmy's algorithm, I think other instances would have that issue too, but visiting them, it's all updated correctly.
Hi! It looks like the Hot and Active feeds aren't updating, at least for me. I was under the impression that a PR that fixed that got merged with 0.18.1, so I'm wondering if it's some other issue?
Does anyone know what might be happening; are the admins aware of the issue?
Thanks!
