I believe "active" sort has comments bump put an entire post, which has many threads inside it. Not sure if time factors into it. The "hot" algo is slightly more complicated that factors in votes and then time will heavily decrease it from appearing on the front page. Both algos punish smaller communities as they're not going to be as active or have nearly as much votes.
