The Lemmy documentation explains the different sort options pretty well: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

The difference between “Hot” and “Active” is probably the most confusing to most users.

And I’m sure Google definitely wouldn’t require your copy of Chrome to be free of any Ad-Blocking or Anti-Tracking extensions to get that “Human” flag /s

DLR trains have never been designed to be un-staffed. The members of staff on board are called PSAs (Passenger Service Agents) or when the system orginally opened: “Train Captains”.

During normal service they’re responsible for operating the doors, ensuring the train is safe to depart each station and assisting passengers. However they’re also required to drive the trains manually within the depots and also in the event of technical problems with the ATO (Automatic Train Operation) system. DLR trains can’t move under ATO without a PSA using the control panel by the doors.

Its also worth remembering that 8 tube lines are also fitted with ATO (Victoria, Jubilee, Central, Northern, District, Circle, Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan) and the drivers on these lines have a similar role during normal service (except they sit in the cab and they’re officially known as “Train Operators”).

If you’re interested in the role of the PSAs, heres an old training video showing how they’d rescue a failed train, things will have changed since 1988 but its still interesting to see.

Looks like the update has resolved the issue with stale content on the frontpage Hot/Active filters as well!

I’ve also noticed this.

I’ve also noticed that when I leave the front page open in subscribed view I occasionally get a sudden flood of posts appearing, they’re always from remote instances and normally older posts (sometimes a few days old). It kinda looks like they’re only just being received by our instance at that point, although I’m not familiar enough with Lemmy to say thats 100% whats happening. But if we’re not reliably receiving posts then that could explain why the front page content is stale.

It feels like there ought to be means to personally penalise company directors for stuff like this. I suspect they’d take much greater interest in paying employees properly if their own necks were on the line.

All too often, large businesses treat fines for breaking the rules as just another operating cost.
