Thread necromancer should be a Halloween costume

You still can if you come back in 5 years

Me neither, but someone commented here it’s a holdover from the days of forums where a new reply to an old thread would instantly put that thread at the top of the forums because the order was always latest reply. This was found annoying by some people especially if the new reply was short and meaningless or something. Makes more sense to me now.

I feel like it’s always been like that. Did the mods give you a reason for removing your post?

I only sub go non political mostly text only communities.

By reddit standards maybe. I’ll tell you though I am always delighted whenever I recognize a user from another thread.

Fair point

There’s only one forum I visit nowadays and it gets older threads revived every now and then. Usually to say “Whatever happened to that? Is it done yet?”

Oh I didn’t know that! I didn’t grow up on forums but I used them a few times here and there. You’re right new replies do push a thread to the top. Kind of a bad design lol.

I do too! I mean notifications of replies are always a shot of dopamine no matter how old.

That reminds me there’s this dude who replied to a pic I posted with “Can use this as an album cover?” I said sure and he said “Cool see me in a year”. I replied a year later “How’s that album coming along?” and was like “give me another year” lol. It’s almost been two years now. Gonna check in again soon.

Oh like dark souls lol.

God knows there aren’t many new threads on lemmy so I’ve been searching random keywords looking for interesting old threads to read and sometimes comment on.

I think people call it deadposting. I’ve heard someone be like “Sorry for deadposting” so I thought if they’re apologizing it must be frowned upon.

I do that thing too
