Is it just me?

My hot it full of months, or even years old posts that have almost no upvotes or comments. Why are they there?

And unlike actually “hot” posts they don’t seem to want to go away. Is this a bug? I’m not seen any discussion on it, not even on github.

    The sorting algorithm seems like it needs a bit of work. I don’t have the issue that I see month old posts, I tend to see very new and not very upvoted posts instead, but that’s fine with me. I just saw your post on hot near the top page, for example.

      I do get new and actually upvoted posts, but there’s a bunch of older stuff sticking around, and they seem to do so longer than other stuff.
