Known Issue With Hot and Active Sorting

pawb.social The front page of Lemmy is mostly posts from 2-4 days ago. I can see people getting bored/not bothering to check back if it's always the same posts on the default sort. - Pawb.Social

Heya Crashdoom, wanted to make you aware of this. There's currently a bug with 0.17.4 that makes the feed not refresh. A fix has been found but is getting rolled into the next release. Currently, they say the workaround (per the linked comment) is to restart the server regularly.

  • I'm definitely noticing this now. My frontpage is from 2 or 3 days ago at this point. Sorting by top of the day helps a bit, but this is quite a bad experience for normal users. If restarting the server fixes this, I'd recommend doing it at least every 12 hours until the bug is fixed

  • I know we're on 0.17.3, however I'm still noticing a lot of weirdness looking at my feed on Hot. One second I'll be reading a headline, and then a dozen posts immediately fill the feed and take over without me refreshing. May be related? Unsure.

    Edit: Definitely noticing it.
