Of course posts older than a day are still useful. But how useful is an experience report on an OS that is over 2 years old? I have no idea about Void Linux, but whenever I seek a tutorial on something, I limit the search to 1 year, because stuff changes. Take the discussions on VPNs recently for example. For many people a lot changed due to policy changes from some VPNs. All threads regarding those VPNs that are older than 3 months should be viewed as archived.

One could argue that a post from programming humor is still as funny as it was 2 years ago. But I don’t want to see the same post over and over again, just because someone wrote a comment in it. And old posts aren’t gone and can be found if one wants to. But I don’t want posts to stay on my front page for years.

This makes lemmy almost not usable for me. If I sort posts by active or hot, I get 80% posts that are older than 2 years. Always with new comments.

I belive that fixing the sorting algorithms is extremely important for lemmys success.

Well, there is a simple solution to stop contributing to unnecessary animal suffering. Becoming vegan will not prevent this from happening tomorrow. But at least you (if you are not yet vegan) are no longer responsible for it.
