I fear we’re going the idiocracy route. Lower and lower intelligence of the population in general.

I’m realizing that a few weeks ago I wanted a lot of people to flock to Lemmy and away from Reddit. At this point I just don’t think about Reddit anymore and find myself hoping Lemmy doesn’t get too popular because of everything that comes with that (trolls, meme posters, bots)

There’s currently a bug with “hot” and “active” where old posts remain at the top. I don’t remember the details but it’s getting fixed in v.0.18 (which is already in release candidate 4).

There are two solutions until the fix is released:

• get your server admin to reboot the server everyone in a while. This seems to temporarily refresh the content.
• use “new” or “top day”. That’s what I’ve been doing.
