Some of the feed types are broken, devs are working on the issues one bug at a time. Currently, they're aiming for stability, rather than usability, but those fixes will eventually get merged in the BE as well.
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Echoing the other comments: Sorting your front page by "Active" tends to do that. I like sorting by "Hot" the most. You can change the default sorting on your settings page.
It's doing it too me with Hot selected as well though.
I do both "Hot" and "All" - are you on Local or Subscribed maybe?
My current front page's oldest post is 2 hour old - almost everything else is < 60 minutes old right now
Subscribed.
That's just gonna be at the mercy of how many communities you've subbed to and how many of them are active, then.
On my own "Subscribed" and "Hot" page I do get two posts that are over a year old, but most are still less than a few hours old.
My preferred strategy is to always browse All, and just block communities that I consistently dislike - once you've done enough blocking it becomes pretty great.
I keep forgetting, is it “hot” or “active” that’s broken?
I think you are sorted by "Active", so if an old post gets a new comment or something it goes to the front page.
Please read the rules before posting again, in the future we will remove questions like this
In the future please go over to !support[email protected]
Sort by "New Comments" and your frontpage will be a lot more active.
