How does Lemmy (Mander in particular) sort "hot" and "active" posts? (mander.xyz)

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.

No matter what I do I don't see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.

This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don't even know how this works across federated instances.

Does anyone know:

How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?

Yes, sorry, there was some serious lagg in fetching posts from Lemmy World that persisted for several days and accumulated a 1-week delay.

But after upgrading Mander it is now fetching data from LW quite rapidly and it should be back in-sync in about a day and a half from now.

If you are curious about the ranking algorithm, there is some info here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

Thanks, I have been watching the graph of the lag behind time and its nice to see it now at 6.1 days.

I find it satisfying to see the graph come down :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, first time I have been cheering for line go down that I can think of.

Almost under a day. I can now see .world, midwest.social, .ee and others in my feed.
