Pretty much all of these subs show no content or content from 3 years ago and the activity is 1 user per 6 months. They don't even change if i refresh the page. Why are they considered trending?

I saw 3 year old posts on the 6th page of hot/all, no idea why.

I had this extensively before instances switched to 0.18 but some people say they see it even with 0.18.1

I get that on hot after only 5 posts. Everything after that is a minimum of 1 year old, and only the first 3-5 post are recent. It's kinda funny reading the comments on those posts as there are a lot of lost people commenting on it right now, thinking it's something recent.

Hot and Active are broken, Use different sorts. Depending on how recentiy I checked I personally use New Comments or Top of 6 Hours.
