This may be a function of Lemmy rather than wefwef (in which case, my apologies but here we go…)
If I filter to ‘All’ (ie. Entire Lemmy fediverse) and then sort by ‘Hot’ then I see pages and pages of posts with only say 4 upvotes and zero comments.
These can’t be the hottest posts across the entire fediverse. What am I missing here?
It’s definitely a Lemmy issue. I’ve been jumping between apps to test them out (wefwef, LiftOff, and Memmy) and they all show the same posts for All/Hot. Active is a bit better, but since it opens the time range to a couple days, a lot of stale posts show up. Hot is just polluted with “spammy” posts by bots, so ended up sticking with Active until the Hot algorithm is sorted out.
