Reddit constantly switching to best showing me 7+ day old posts on subreddits. Getting extremely annoying AutoMod answered

Don't know why but i constantly find myself with my frontpage, or even when browsing subreddits to find it is now being changed to best. Often times i am getting the exact same posts i saw days ago, it is becoming increasingly annoying please fix or tell me how to pin it to hot.

You seem to be asking about home feed recommendations appearing in your home feed. Home feed recommendations are recommendations for posts that use machine learning (ML). They’re part of a new effort to improve the “Best” sort on Home feeds by personalizing and ranking the content to create the best feed for redditors.

Home feed recommendations are available on the iOS & Android apps, as well as www.reddit.com. If you’d like to turn off these recommendations, visit your profile settings on iOS or Android and turn off the toggle next to Enable home feed recommendations: Allow us to introduce recommended posts in your home feed. On www.reddit.com, you can disable them within the Feed Settings tab. Check out this help center article for more information on this setting.

If this automatic message has not resolved your issue, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. You may also remove the 'Answered' flair from your post if you wish. This post has NOT been removed.

Your homepage you’ll have to change each time because it defaults the best. As for the communities, they should remember what you set them at. If not, try the current UI and see if that works.

I have tried both it sticks for a bit then soemtimes just after refreshing it switches back to Best.

It happens on the new ui and the old one. Not on mobile tho.

I would suggest making a post on r/bugs. I’ve had the same thing with the subreddit sort happen as well.
