I've seen like 5 different posts about this already, I guess I'll reply to this one too xD
Lemmy "Hot" ranking is currently kinda broken. There's an edge case that stops the hot_rank column from decreasing, meaning the post never goes off the front page. Will be fixed in 0.18.
Do you know when 0.18 will be out?
Trite answer: When it's done
More in-depth answer: Currently there's no set date. It depends on how quickly they can tear out all the WebSockets code and replace it with simple HTTP (that's the BIG change, will fix a lot of different things), and then test those changes. The hot_rank fix has already been merged, that's done, but they want a stable, cohesive release with all the good stuff.
Current estimations I've seen range from 1-2 weeks, but it all depends on how fast they can get it coded and tested.
The websockets work has been merged. I'm using it on my instance now, but there's no release yet. It's been really stable for me so far, so I'm hoping there aren't major issues and they can push it out soon.
