From the Docs link available at the bottom right of any lemmy page, in "4. Votes and Ranking" :

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

Sorry for digging up an old post lol. For active, is that the score of the latest comment or the score of the post?
