PSA: Sort by New in smaller communities to avoid only seeing the same old posts. (lemmy.world)

I've 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 didn't realize until trying it out 😅

Hot is broken atm. There's an edge case that can happen that stops the hot_rank value decreasing, meaning it never leaves the first page.

Gonna be fixed in 0.18, but yeah, use New until then.

They should tighten the time bounds or make it customisable or dynamic based on the community activity too.

48 hours worked when Lemmy was small, but now there are a lot more posts.

I can't wait to see all the fixes in 0.18 implemented, it's going to be huge. 1.0, here we come!

Aha. I was wondering why my All/Hot front page today is still the exact same as yesterday.

I've been doing All/Hot as my default view and it seems to refresh often enough, not sure why I'm not having the same problem as others

Could be that with less users on lemmy.one, there's 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 I'm glad I went with it because I can still read both Beehaw and Lemmy.world so I'm not really caught up in that whole drama. Seems that there are some advantages to being on a smaller instance
