I was expecting lemmy to sort posts by upvotes but this is not the case: I often find a post with 70 upvotes further down the thread than a post with 20 upvotes.
what decides what goes up and what down?

I believe “Hot” sorting filters by a mix of recency, score and possibly also activity. If you want to sort by score alone, you can use the dropdown to change the sorting to use “top” instead. There may also be an option in your settings to make this the default if you want to.
