I’ve been noticing myself that sorting by active or hot just gives me days old posts, so I’ve been sorting by new but it’s not a great experience. this should be a pretty good middle ground.
Not sure what’s happening with the ranking algorithm, but it seems like the default main page is still displaying the same set of popular posts from a few days ago.
But if you switch to sorting by “Top Day,” it’ll show fresh popular posts from the past day.
Change the Sort Type in your account settings. Much better than changing it manually every time you visit.
