I have to sort by "New" because "Hot" is almost always broken. I get posts from two years ago :/ If I sort by "New" however, some of the posts are pretty... eh?

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

What, you don't like all the crazy fury porn? Cuz I mean, if you don't like fury porn..... Ya there's a lot of it.
I have, thankfully, seemed to have avoided a lot of the furry porn. If you like it, more power to you! I'm thankful I can avoid that kind of content!
I've blocked, so, so many communities browsing all. It's wild.

I've never really used it (I'm not very into micro blogging), as someone else said Lemmy is to Reddit as mastodon is to what Twitter used to be
It's a more complex system of federation than Lemmy, my understanding is that Lemmy is more tightly federated, but mastodon has additional mechanisms to spread posts through the network.
I might get more into microblogging when I add kbin support I might get into it - I've found learning enough about something to write code for it often ends with an appreciation for the thing. If that happens I'll do a similar server experience post somewhere
I sort by new comments and that does pretty well.
I had the same issue with Lemmy, so I use Kbin more these days because it seems to be better at getting interesting posts I haven't seen before. I'm sure the Lemmy devs will get to it though.
@SPOOSER Getting the algorithm right is a challenge. Reddit struggled to get a balance of both interesting topics while keeping spam off of the front-page. Kbin/Lemmy will have the same problem. Kbin seems to do a better job than Lemmy IMO, but it still lets too many memeposts/shitposts on the front page. You still have to block the worse offenders.

Ugh... Thanks for the catch, that's one less bug making it to the beta.
The frustrating thing is I specifically remember looking this up when I was writing the function, because it was weird to me that images were the opposite order
My renderer handled both though, so I might not have noticed for a while
