When I visit kbin.social, I see new posts regularly. On other servers posts stay on the frontpage for multiple days. This is also true if I switch their sorting to “hot”. So that is probably not the difference.
What is kbin.social doing differently?

Unknown about kbin, but I’ve heard that Hot is currently broken for (most?) instances across the lemmyverse. (This might be related to the size of the instance - apparently for small (single-to-double-digit users) instances Hot works fine?)
Edit: and this is supposed to be fixed in the next release, 0.18
Where did you hear that?
I’ve seen it repeated here and there - most recently, here:

Edit: straight from GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
It’s definitely broken for me, I’ve been trying to figure out what the problem was. Basically the only way for me to browse is on new. Hot or active only give posts from two days ago. I’m also on jerboa so i wasn’t sure if that was the problem.
