Sorting by hot includes very old posts (lemmy.donmcgin.com)

Hello all! I am posting from my own self hosted instance, running 0.18.0, but this issue existed in 0.17.4 as well. When sorting posts from my subscribed communities by Hot, I will get a handful of newer posts, followed by an entire page or two of old posts going as far back as 4 years (not with new comments), before finally seeing fresh posts again. Thus far I have been scrolling past all the ancient posts every time I open lemmy (both through Firefox and jerboa) and going straight to the fresh content, but since the issue wasn't resolved with the new release I'm wondering if anyone knows what is causing this behavior and if there is a fix. Thank you!

I have the same, new install of v18 and a lot of my posts are from more than a year ago. Even a lot of the "newer" are over a month old with a single upvote and no comments. It's made "hot" pretty much useless for me.

Yeah, I'm hoping it will clear up with time as other commenters have suggested!

I'm hoping so. I also noticed avatars aren't showing on other instances either. Seems there are a few bugs, and if the github is anything to go by, the devs are going to be extremely busy for quite a while.
