      That might be it, but “having some recent comments” still is a bit of a weak criterion to be considered “hot”.

      I’m admittedly new, but I thought that was the difference between Hot and Active.

      Active is for any activity, so comments on a 3y post are fair game. It’s actually kind of a cool filter that offers the classic “forum” style that revives old posts, rather than the reddit style of “anything older than 12 hours is dead to everyone”
