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
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.
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

Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.
Cruxifux@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3y
Bug? Or feature?

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

Beats me!

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.

There's a known bug with the algorithm that causes old posts to pop up from time to time. Hope it gets fixed soon
Carnelian@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
I think I read that it’s related to old posts being copied to new instances

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

I was here for the Algo feed zombie thread revival let's go
bleph@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 3y
If we comment enough, we could get this zombie thread stuck in the 'Active' feed

Shit, it’s working.

Never underestimate the power of shitposting

2 year old post that will be relevant forever.

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

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? 😂
