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!

Sorting was borked in v17, and fixed in v18. It seems there is some bugginess with going from the borked v17 to the working v18, I too have a random set of 3 year old posts that keep appearing. But they are slowly disappearing for me as time passes, now that v18 is properly updating hot sorting.

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully it will slowly fix itself as well
