Not sure where to ask so as being a lemmy.world user, I’d thought it made the most sense to come to this support community.

    "Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

    Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published"

    https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html#votes-and-ranking

    With that said… I have seen people comment in the past month that the active vs hot sorting might be a bit buggy still. Most (including myself) seem to prefer using the various top sorts.

    Hope that helps!

      Yeah i use top 6h instead of active, works a bit better for me.
