Yeah it looks fixed now. I went to !cats@lemmy.world and counted 10 posts from the last 3 hours, then viewed the community from SJW and it too has 10 posts from the last 3 hours.
So… are you enjoying the cats flooding your feed now?:-D Or if you aren’t seeing them, it must be for some other reason now.
Ah that seems to explain it. Active prioritizes many comments iirc, but on most of these posts I see few if any comments. Using Hot though, they can dominate a feed due to being highly upvoted.
Ah, yeah that seems to be it. I switched to all+hot and I’m now seeing a lot of cats. I wonder what other content I’m missing out on by sorting by “active”? When I sort by “all”, I’m trying to get the posts that are trending the most on Lemmy. Maybe active isn’t the best way to do this? Interestingly, the posts that I see when I sort by “hot” don’t have as many upvotes as those when I sort by “active” so idk.
Hot also shows newer content, as these cat posts tend to be, while Active will allow older content that is still being discussed. You should notice a lot more turnover of your feed with Hot than with Active. You can change your default sort in your Settings so you don’t have to keep switching it every time.

I’m not sure. Maybe the volume of cats has just been exaggerated? Sorting all+active only shows 1 cat in the first 80 posts that I looked at.
