[Possibly Severe Issue] The "Hot"/default sorting algorithm seems to be very broken (voatdev)

submitted ago by rwbj

This issue is apparent by clicking on most any sub, including this one /v/voatdev

Looking at the posts in default/hot ordering from /v/voatdev:

  • #2 is a 14 day (1 fortnight) old post with +5
  • #4 is a 6 day old post with +6
  • #5 is a month old post with +4
  • #13 is a 1 day old post with +16
  • #20 is a 3 day old post with +11
  • #51 (top of page 3) is a 4 day old post with +196 !!

So forth and so on. The posts are in a completely random order that's probably inhibiting discussion. This bug is showing up everywhere. At a glance in /v/technology there's a 5 day old post with +3 sitting ahead of a 16 hour post with +19.
