The All feed on both Hot and Active modes is exactly the same as it was most of a day ago, all the same posts in the same order, except they’re all 12h+ old now. At first I thought federation might not be working due to overload, but on New posts are coming in all the time, both local and remote.
What’s up?
I believe hot measures the most upvoted recent posts, and active measures the most commented. There were some massively upvoted and commented posts in the last day or two. Probably nothing is coming close to displacing them, and whatever the definition of “recent” is hasn’t kicked in enough to push them down the rankings.
Switch to new
or top day
to see something more dynamic.
If you mostly followed Lemmy.ml communities I think they’ve been getting slammed with traffic and it might be slowing things down.
Are you looking at subscribed, local, or all?
change sorting to “hot”
I think a lot of new users are coming in and interacting with the first post they see, which is usually the post at the top of the “hot” feed. In turn, this keeps the “hot” posts up longer because of the constant interaction.
I expect it’ll cycle through within the week once the blackout is up.
