Feddit UK slow or broken at updating "hot" or "active" (self.feddituk)

submitted 1 year ago by rubikfrog to c/feddituk

24 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I have an account on feddit.uk and lemmy.world with almost identical subscriptions.

When I visit the feddit.uk homepage and look at posts from my subscriptions sorted by "hot", the two posts immediately after the two pinned Feddit UK posts at the top are 6 days old. The behaviour with "active" is similar. Posts shown are quite old, and neither hot nor active.

When I visit the lemmy.world homepage and look at the "hot" posts from my subscriptions, the first 10 are all with the last couple of hours. Active shows posts in the last 24 hours with a healthly number of comments.

Both servers are running 0.17.4

Basically, right now feddit.uk is almost unusable for me due to both hot and active being populated by stale posts. I need to search by "new" to get anything approaching useful - but when I do that there is just too much to sift through.

@tom@feddit.uk Any idea if there's anything that you can do about it? It does make the place pretty difficult to use and enjoy. I'd like to keep this as my main Lemmy account, but at the moment the other big instances are much more usable due to the functioning feed sorts.

My top 13 results in All > Hot are currently all 10 days old...

Edit: It's getting worse. My top 5 post on All > Hot is 2 years old with a zero score and two comments.

Commented above but I've updated to v18.0 so hopefully that fixes it

Looks like this issue has returned, at least for me. And even worse! I'm now getting 2 year old post appearing as my top "hots".

Thanks Tom. I think Lemmy's "hot" sorting is still bums, but that's not feddit.uk's fault. I posit that posts with no comments should not be considered "hot"!
