Is it just me, or is sort by active worse on sh.itjust.works than on other instances? On sh.itjust.works, it gives posts (both local and federated) that are weeks old. If I do the same on lemmy.world, it gives much more relevant posts that are a few hours to around a day old. Maybe there are some server settings that could be tweaked?
This is a current bug that will be fixed in the next version I believe. Some instances periodically restart the instance to get this statistic repopulated
I have the same on my own instance too, my guess it’s a bug in lemmy.
I feel this a bit too. Maybe I’m just comparing it to kbin.
It is broken in software. It’s a bug that kills the refresher for the database, so the active posts simply don’t get updated at all. Update coming someday.
