Being able to comment on old posts is interesting.
Could lead to problems or more interesting things.
I like it. It encourages people to use threads for deeper discussions rather than make a new post.
I hope that we see a culture that appreciates this rather than the often mindless complaints of necroing you'd see in forums.
Necroposting is cool (when you actually have something to say)
Wowza. Forgot all about this
See what I mean, neat
Ha! You were kinda right, huh?
I dig it as well, especially if the post is more technical and further comments help clarify things.
Could lead to problems
this is why I sort by "New Comments" for the Moderator View
Been receiving replies for over a year
Which is still neat
Lol yea. Very nice that Lemmy supports old threads unlike Reddit, the forums-style "New Comments" sort is such a good alternative to the other sorting methods. It should reduce the "need" for reposts, especially combined with Lemmy's nice auto-search when making a post.
Ha! You should see the insanity now!
Exactly!
this project seems interesting, will have to keep an eye on it
