This has been an issue since the beginning of Kbin tmk, but when you make a post, it won’t appear under sort by hot unless it has an upvote. This means that if someone forgets to upvote their own post, it just won’t appear on the default sort. There are plenty of posts I’ve missed because of this.

Any idea when something like this might be changed?

    Yeah, having posts automatically upvoted by OP would be great. I think that Lemmy automatically starts with an upvote count of 1 regardless of OP’s vote, so I think Kbin should do the same. I get that Hot is meant to factor in activity and time, but it just feels super off for the only post in the past month to not appear. Surely a post that was made an hour ago is hotter than a post was made weeks back.
