I seem to gravitate towards All + Hot lately. This gives me a really nice variety of posts. All + Top 6 Hour is good as well.

I’ve been subscribing to a lot of communities, but find that I often don’t browse by subscription. I mainly use subscriptions to bookmark communities in case I want to view them individually.

    I did notice recently that I was getting month old posts in Hot. Which is actually OK for now, since I just arrived, but I imagine I’ll gravitate more towards Top Day/6 hours/hour eventually.

        It’s at least a known bug, I read an open issue about it somewhere on the GitHub. No idea on the progress of fixing it, though. And it’s exacerbated if your home instance is small, apparently (probably something to do with the algorithm using activity from your home instance to determine “Hot”, I’m guessing, so if you’re on a small instance there just isn’t enough recent activity to fill the front page).

          I’m on world, so it must be the bug for me. It’s happened like 3x in the last day. They were all about peertube and how you can live stream “now” (3 years ago). Which is cool that it can do that actually.

            Yeah the bug can affect any instance since it’s part of the algorithm, though I did personally notice it got way worse when I switched from lemmy.world to feddit.nu (which has less than 300 users).

            Quickly checking the front page of my .world account, Hot sorting seems to work fine on it, so it’s weird what you’re getting the bug still.
