New posts are streamed to the top of the page against expected sorting behavior

[andscape-dev]

Issue Summary

While sorting by Hot or Active, new posts with no activity or upvotes are pushed to the top of the page (see attached image), even if they don't fit the sorting algorithm. They also end up above pinned posts, which I assume is not desired behavior. Refreshing the page makes these new posts disappear, restoring the expected ordering.

Seems related to #681. Posts are indeed streaming in without needing a refresh, but they are doing so even when they shouldn't.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log into my instance on Firefox desktop
2. Select a feed (I've noticed this problem on both Local and All, could be also affecting Subscribed but I don't have frequent enough activity in that feed to test)
3. Sort by Hot or Active
4. Wait some time for new posts to be posted or pushed to the instance

Technical details

• Environment: Mozilla Firefox 113.0.2 on Desktop
• UI Version: 0.17.3

This is done in main now that websockets are removed.
