When sorting by all instances > all communities > hot, I get as the top post a 20 votes, 1 comment post. Just 5 or so posts below, a 5 votes and 0 comments post.

If I sort by active instead, I see two day old posts.

Should I be sorting differently?

EDIT: Nevermind, I wasn’t using my brain. All good on any instance using lemmy 0.18. Just need to wait for Jerboa to update. I was about to delete the post, but maybe other people were thinking the same, so I’ll keep it so they can read this. Just wait for Jerboa to update, next version should be much better in this regard.

    The hot algorithm was actually broken, but lemmy 0.18.0 came out today and instances are starting to update - once your instance updates, install jerboa 0.35 n you’ll notice the difference

      I’d not encourage to get .35 version, I think .34 is more stable for now, it wasn’t perfect, but at least it didn’t give me crashes like .35 does.

        I’m pretty sure the .35 crashes were because instances weren’t updated to 0.18.0 yet, I haven’t had any problems using it on lemmy.ca

        Somehow f-droid is saying that .33 is the latest version and it doesn’t let me update. If I download an apk it also doesn’t let me as it conflicts with another install…

          F-droid is pretty slow in picking up versions, how f-droid works by default is that you register a source code repository with it and then f-droid goes ahead and checks the source code and builds and checks the application themselves to put in their repository. All this takes about 2-4 days usually.

          However, for me at least, 0.34 is currently the latest one on the official f-droid repository, maybe there’s some other issue with your fdroid.

          But anyway, if you want faster updates, you have to use another app repository within fdroid instead of the official one, IzzyOnDroid’s is a trusted one. It doesn’t build the apps, but simply goes to the repos and looks for already built APKs and serves those, which is less secure (as it doesn’t vet the built apps) and thus faster.

      Right! That’s totally it. I’m still moving between instances, so I got confused, but you’re right, 0.18.0 is working much better. Should have not made the post tbh, I was browsing on lemmy.ml (which is using 0.18) on the web just a few hours ago and I didn’t notice the lack of content, but I had Jerboa on lemmy.world. I should have just stopped and used my brain for a second before posting.

      Thanks!

        I do appreciate the post though because it actually answered my question. Not that I’ve been on my phone much today but I noticed this the other day.
