Yeah, just recently saw a news article pop up in my Hot feed which stated that "Canada finally starts requiring a negative COVID-19 test to enter the country". Weirded me out for a moment before I realized that the post was over two years old :)
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
I've been keeping on getting one for the itch io ukraine bundle, which was over a year old
Its a known bug and 0.18 already improved it a bit. O.18.1 will hopefully fix it completely. For now the instance admin can restart the Lemmy backend to renew the stalled hot sorting.
This ain't that. Before it would freeze entirely and keep the same posts for days.
Now, it's updating, and showing brand new posts, but also posts from YEARS ago.
Yes I am aware, but I talked to one of the developers and apparently it has the same root cause.
And I can definitly see that restarting the backend temporarily fixes it.
I'm on 0.18.1-rc.1 and I'm still seeing it.
Hmm, better make a specific bug report then ASAP.
Had the same problem but 0.18 fixed it for me.
My instance is on 0.18. Was among the first to update.
Oh wow that's weird. When my instance switched to the new version that problem went away for me.
I realized the Same with pinned posts! It depends on the sort order, But the pinned posts are then always on top. Whish i could just hide those ^^
Upgraded the UI to 0.18.0-rc1
and the backend to a few commits ahead of 0.18.0-rc1
. ~~I haven’t seen this issue so far today.~~
And I just got a 14 day-old post. So it seems like the issue is still there.
I think that as long as the instances you scrape from have not updated, the bug will remain.
Ah that’s good to know. I suppose this is a reasonable limit to what I gain by living on the bleeding edge.
