The Lemmy documentation explains the different sort options pretty well: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
The difference between "Hot" and "Active" is probably the most confusing to most users.
And I'm sure Google definitely wouldn't require your copy of Chrome to be free of any Ad-Blocking or Anti-Tracking extensions to get that "Human" flag /s
