The sorting algorithm ("hot") does not favor new posts. It's keeping two 1-hour-old posts below posts that are 6-days-old

In case people might get the wrong idea, I only post pics/clips of female martial artists who who have given me their permission. I do not steal content from Instagram.
The posts eventually did show up at the top after two hours and receiving 8 or 9 upvotes.
This delay wasn't always there. Just last week, the posts would show up at the top after 3-5 minutes.
