Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

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.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year 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

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] aronkvh@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months 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

[-] bleph@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

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

Never underestimate the power of shitposting

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

2 year old post that will be relevant forever.

[-] Flelk@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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? 😂

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

Bro was ahead of the curve.

[-] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Well, this is odd.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I started transitioning when boost stopped

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

[-] Chriszz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year 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

[-] anas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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