This was the last drop, i'll start avoiding Reddit asap
You're viewing a single thread.
Op did you actually post this 2 years ago??? What is going on....
💀
Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.
There's a known bug with the algorithm that causes old posts to pop up from time to time. Hope it gets fixed soon
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?
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
