“Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published”

This is what I like about the fediverse. I asked a similar question on Reddit a long time ago. Got a snarky comment "it is what it sounds like" and nothing else.

Thanks for answering.

Glad I could help. Not too long ago I was thinking about the same question myself, so looking up the answer a second time was fairly easy.

Will hot be improved in the future? It keep showing new dead posts on my end.

there was a bug in hot that showed years old posts. should be fixed in the latest versions.
