Comment on How does lemmy's algorithm work?

It’s not based on what posts you look at. It’s the same for everyone. See the documentation here: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/07-ranking-algo.html
Hot is like Top but uses the time since posting to scale the ranking to keep newer content towards the top.

It really doesn’t seem to work as intended, I see months old posts under hot for no apparent reason.

That was a known bug in 0.18.2. It looks like your account is on lemmy.world which has very recently updated to 0.18.3, are you still seeing the issue?

I will give it a look, I haven’t been using hot due to that issue
