I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.
I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.
I had stuff in my feed jump from a few hours old to then showing things that haven’t had a comment in TWO YEARS back to showing content from a few days ago.
There has to be a bug somewhere in Lemmy’s API in regards to what posts are returned.
Edit: I just checked your screenshot. You’re showing the same kind of thing I see.
Happening for me too, and I know many others, as sometimes the old posts will have new comments lol
This. That’s definitely a bug. It wasn’t always happening and seems somewhat recent.
