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 think the bug that caused old posts to always appear as hot in 17.4 just made those posts rank higher than other ones, but thanks to 18.0 they're finally getting pushed down. IMO this will fix itself organically.

Thank you for the input, I'll keep an eye on it and hope it fixes itself with time.
