Sort by "hot" is inconsistent and often shows really old posts. (lemmy.world)

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?

This is just a guess as I haven't looked at the source code for anything, but I think this is because instances may take a long time to get all the old posts from a community when they first start getting ActivityPub updates from it (when a user first subscribes to the remote community). When sorting by hot, it seems like the time the post was received via ActivityPub is used for sorting instead of the time it was originally created.
