"hot" and "active" are not simple post attributes. It's a weighted algorithm that takes into account many things like score, time, how fast the score is changing, upvote percentages, etc.

It's not a personalized feed, but it's farm from simple or objective. Look at how many people complain about reddits many different sorting algorithms
