Iβve noticed that most communities mainly show day-old posts with default sorting. Sorting by New or Hot helps with seeing newer posts. Kinda obvious, but I sure didnβt realize until trying it out π
Could be that with less users on lemmy.one, thereβs less people using the search for specific posts. The edge case triggers when a user does that. The hot_rank column functions normally if nobody searches for posts.
Yeah honestly I picked it randomly and had been regretting not going with a bigger instance, but now Iβm glad I went with it because I can still read both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so Iβm not really caught up in that whole drama. Seems that there are some advantages to being on a smaller instance
