Not sure what’s happening with the ranking algorithm, but it seems like the default main page is still displaying the same set of popular posts from a few days ago.
But if you switch to sorting by “Top Day,” it’ll show fresh popular posts from the past day.
Any news on if this will be fixed soon?
Should be with the 0.18 update, which is a pretty big one that will fix some other things too. I don’t think it will be that long but I don’t want to go in the admin group chat going “wen release” I know how annoying that is especially for a volunteer project.
