Is it me, or is it rather slow? If I sort by active I get content that is 1-2 days old. If I sort by hot most stuff are 17-20h old.

There is interesting content on here, it’s just hard to find. And you end up having to sort by new, which is totally different experience!

Other than that I really feel like Lemmy could become something awesome.

That’s how “active” works afaik. “Active” looks at latest comment, so if it’s an old post, it will still go to the top because there are recent comments.

I feel like Hot should have been the default. Active being dependent on comment activity isn't a great way to see newer posts.
