Why YSK:” So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.

      Depends on the instance. There was a bug that made hot stale, but several instances have fixed it. Hot gives me fresh results in lemmy.world. The only issue is the algorithm still needs work. It is closer to “rising” and has a tendency to bury posts on small communities.

        I definitely agree that the algorithm needs some work. Maybe someday lemmy instances will be able to have customizable variables like “post staling rate” or “karma to recency ratio” or something in that ballpark.
