The scheduled task to update scaled ranks should also be looled at
I think its working as intended, bc when I change the filter to Local, it did find many posts older than an hour.
You're not going to see many older posts with Scaled + All, because there's so many small communities with new posts that its giving a boost to.
I do think Scaled is pretty good for the Subscribed feed, I use that as my default. Although I do think it could favor new posts a little less, and maybe Hot could use the same tweak

There's a small chance that this happens because the batches for updating the ranks use published
instead of id
, and a newly inserted post is only guaranteed to be the most recently published post if it's local.
Requirements
Summary
Effectively it works as another "new" sort, instead of fulfilling the stated goal of showing popular posts from smaller communities. It seems the algorithm needs some adjustment.
