Yea, I have had the active page stay the same for the last ~3 days. Hot is (somewhat) updating for me.

Yeah, I end up using New
Same issue for me
I am seeing it as well, but I also do see new posts pop up; so I dont think this is a bug so much as code working as intended. My guess is: because the increase in users was so big about three days ago, all of those posts got weighted much larger than everything else and the decay rate didnt adjust properly to accomodate this, so thier scores are still much higher than new posts. Someone should open an issue and let the devs know to look into it outside of just guessing: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues
I'm pretty sure that's not the case. After this long of time, the time decay should have pushed out the older posts by now (I'm seeing almost exclusively 4-5 day old posts on my feed). Using this as reference: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html#:~:text=Lemmy%20uses%20the%20same%20Rank,and%20the%20post%20published%20time.
If it really was an issue with Lemmy's algorithm, I think other instances would have that issue too, but visiting them, it's all updated correctly.
Hmmm, thanks for linking the relevant page. I see now that my inital guess was wrong; this is tricky cause it must be a new and specific issue
