I used to hate when this happened to me. Someone reviving a post from ages ago to answer a question that I already found months/years ago.
But hey, it could help someone else in the future if I didn't go back and post the answer to my own question (spoiler alert: I didn't) so now I just do what OP does and thank them for their time, move on with my day. Chuckle at the stupidity of my youth.
Some people get angry about things like that. Just be chill, they probably didn't notice how long ago it was posted.
I still occasionally get replies on reddit from threads that are over a decade old. I used to use reddit a lot, but that has dropped to almost nothing after switching to Lemmy.
I checked Reddit last month for the first time since June of 2023 and had 4 notifications. 3 of them were about buying into Reddit's fucking shitass IPO. I guess people just aren't interested in my half-life hot takes :(
I think it was just a few years ago they changed it to make that even possible
I've gotten that here, which is incredibly surprising because search on Lemmy kinda sucks. I haven't been here a decade, but I did get some replies from a year old comment I made.
9 years later: You're welcome!
this kind of thing has saved my life so many times, please keep doing it!
also I get a little excited when someone replies to an old post.
(Also RO might be my favorite game experience I’ve ever had in my life. It got me through school alive and I still listen to the excellent soundtrack when I’m working sometimes.)
