Last but not least, since the screenshot shows the subreddit I moderate, c/kickasswomen, and I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea: everyone whose content is posted on KickassWomen has given me their permission—I don’t steal anyone’s content nor do I post anything without their consent.
I use "hot" as my default sort setting.
Everything was fine until Thursday or Friday of last week.
The sorting setting isn't the problem.
Yes thats the issue, if it is sorted by hot, new posts never gets right to the top.
They did get to the top up until late last week
If other posts arent rated high, then new posts are "Top" rated high at the start. But if other posts have higher votes then new posts will be below them.
Yes, I know that but eventually the new posts used to show up at the top of the page after 1-5 minutes.
Now, new posts don't show up at the top even after 30 minutes.
Yes the reason is, there was fewer upvotes in those 30 minutes.
Look, I don't want to argue for the sake of arguing but this is what I mean. Today I made two posts and within 10-13 minutes the posts made it to the top of the page (with "hot" being the sorting setting). One post got no upvotes and the other one only got one.
I dont understand the lemmy algorithm too.
