This is a support/how to use Lemmy question and would be a better fit in [email protected]

Was wondering the same πŸ€”

IDK, but it took me a good 30s touching the posts in your screenshot trying to figure out wth was happening.

That's one reason I don't like any view that loads the full picture, I just like to see the thumbnail then decide if I want to see the whole thing.

Recent upvotes, right?

Are you using wefwef? Maybe try Memmy as I found the ordering of posts varies a lot from app to app

[–] ThisIsNecessary 2 points 1 year ago

Yes it's wefwef, but I found the same happening in Liftoff too

It depends on the instance you use, not the app you choose.

I've seen this happen on Jerboa too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s happening in Memmy as well.

Wefwef. Did the same in Liftoff too though so I didn't think it was necessarily an app issue

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As far as I can tell 'Hot' is just broken

Means they have active comments I believe.
