Pretty much all of these subs show no content or content from 3 years ago and the activity is 1 user per 6 months. They don't even change if i refresh the page. Why are they considered trending?

The trending communities UI only shows communities local to your own instance and right now seems to strongly prioritize new communities specifically. That leads to weird results on lemmy.ml, since new community registration is closed.

It is exclusively dead and empty subs on my instance. Yet my instance has MANY very active communities.. It is broken.
