What is the difference between Active and Hot on your Lemmy feed? (lemmy.world)

Not sure where to ask so as being a lemmy.world user, I'd thought it made the most sense to come to this support community.

"Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published"

With that said... I have seen people comment in the past month that the active vs hot sorting might be a bit buggy still. Most (including myself) seem to prefer using the various top sorts.

Hope that helps!

Yeah i use top 6h instead of active, works a bit better for me.
