I’m subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I’m seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8 months ago that I see every time I open the app. And one from 3 years ago with one comment from months ago.
All feed isn’t much better for me either.
Super important to sort by Top 6 Hours. If you do that you will see the currently discussed posts. My feed has quite a lot of content because of this.
And yeah, maybe version 0.18.3 fixed issues with Hot but top 6 hours seems great.
Feddit.nu upgraded to 0.18.3 and I can confirm Hot seems to be working now.
Top 6 Hours and New Comments are still both useful sorts, though.
The newest update fixed quite a lot of the “hot” algorithm glitchiness.
Wait for your instance to upgrade to 18.3
Get your instance to upgrade to the newest version, there’s bug fixes.
Switch your default sort to NEW
