I’m admittedly new, but I thought that was the difference between Hot and Active.
Active is for any activity, so comments on a 3y post are fair game. It’s actually kind of a cool filter that offers the classic “forum” style that revives old posts, rather than the reddit style of “anything older than 12 hours is dead to everyone”
I’ve seen quite a few of these posts with recent comments on them, so that might be kicking these posts back into the Hot feed.
That might be it, but “having some recent comments” still is a bit of a weak criterion to be considered “hot”.

Kek this really rustled my jimmies
