What's happening with our All/Hot? - sh.itjust.works

I tested this on multiple browsers and systems. Our All/Hot has been like this for 2 days. If I leave it long enough, multiple minutes it will sometimes load a bunch more and get stuck in weird update cascade that will use up all my RAM. None of the other instances I tried have this issue. It seems to happen whether I’m logged in or not.

It's a known issue with Lemmy, it should be fixed by next release.
0.18 is gonna fix so many issues. Glitchy feeds when a new batch of federated data comes in, glitchy vote numbers on posts, performance improvements, post ranking on feeds, etc.
But it only happens here. Are there other instances with the same issue? Or a github post about it, do you know?
Does it only happen here? Paging @[email protected] and/or @[email protected]. Is there something wrong with our hot_rank column in the database? Is the update not triggering?

As far as I can tell, yes. Only here. The screenshot shows FMHY updating, and I checked a few more before hand.
Got an answer from TheDude on matrix chat. That is a known issue fixed in 0.18, but some instances are using the untested patch to fix it until then. He doesn't want to roll out untested code with potential side-effects, so we're stuck with the issue until it comes down the pipe.
Ah, that explains a lot. Thank you.
