At least recently, the hot filter only shows posts with 0 or 1 comment. These posts also get no more comments afterwards.

This is poor. I moved back to Reddit because I simply thought fediverse was dead when it was the hot filter malfunctioning.

    Hey there! Mlem doesn’t control the way that posts are sorted when using the “Hot” sort mode - that’s something that Lemmy does. The mechanism of the “Hot” sorting algorithm is described in detail here.

    You may prefer to use one of the “Top of…” sort modes instead, if you’d like to see more popular posts. In Mlem, you can change the default sort mode under Settings -> Sorting -> Posts.
