Facebook engineers are getting desperate - Lemmy

No no, this is Twitter because this poor guy doesn’t have any coworkers left to ask.
This is a two years old post
Amazing. It showed up in my ‘Hot’ feed lol
The hot algorithm is a bit bugged, it likes to throw in the occasional ancient post
I imagine it’s because someone commented on it so it shows activity. Dunno how the first commenter found it though. Probably just scrolled all the way back lol.
No you’re thinking of ‘active’, which surfaces posts with recent comments. Just scroll a bit on ‘hot’ and you’ll see it dredges up some old posts, even without recent comments
