Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

Honestly I do kind of like it! It's like unearthing a time capsule lol

Could it be that some deep liked that post today, and that got picked up by the hot algorithm (got a new upvote) and then snowballed over here.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

There's a known bug with the algorithm that causes old posts to pop up from time to time. Hope it gets fixed soon

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I think I read that it’s related to old posts being copied to new instances

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

So someone on Lemmy.ml commented on it, causing the old thread to federate out to the instances created after it was posted?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

lol I have no idea why it got popular now. Basically it was how Reddit handled this and then r/europe banned me permanently because I mentioned Lemmy. Tbh .ml wasn't the best place to join Lemmy in retrospect, I've moved to lemmy.kde.social

I was here for the Algo feed zombie thread revival let's go

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the 'Active' feed

Never underestimate the power of shitposting

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

2 year old post that will be relevant forever.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 years ago

Same. I'm starting the transition in earnest as of today.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Any chance you are still around to tell everyone why you guys were so ready to leave reddit w years before the rest of us? 😂

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Dunno about him but for me, reddit already had gone worse after 2014

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thats fair. I didn't really even get into Reddit until 2012. So I probably never noticed plus I mostly browsed on Sync on my phone and never really dealt with the website itself which imo is where things really went down hill.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I can understand you, well we are over reddit as a whole now 🙂

Bro was ahead of the curve.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I started transitioning when boost stopped

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Well, this is odd.

Looks like OP posted this thread two years ago, so hard to say what their reason was. That said, I hadn’t heard about that with reddit yet. Thank you for sharing that article.

Spez is crazy if he thinks that move will bring back those who have left

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

That is going to absolutely ruin the site even more lmao

You thought karma farming bots were bad? Wait until users start posting like them too

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oh huh, I didn’t expect them to be bleeding this much money lol
