What algorithm is used to sort the posts on lemmy? This is the 10th entry on my home feed sorted as Hot. It’s a 2 years old post. Why it is “hot” now?

it does the hot update every 15 minutes now and it pretty much instantly nuked the ancient posts when I started running with it.

if you're impatient like me you could just grab the latest code from git; there's another change in there that dramatically reduces the database size: my one person instance went from having a database dump taking 1.3 Gb to 250Mb.
