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.
Wowza. Forgot all about this
See what I mean, neat
Ha! You were kinda right, huh?
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)
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
