At what point do y’all decide not to comment on a thread? Is 1 week+ too ’old’?
Screw it, I’ll necrothread like a forummancer.
Hell yeah, cyber archeology. Coming into old comments threads like Lawrence Fishburne, “this place is a tomb.”
The URL for the comment you want to reply to is: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/348087
I don’t even really think about it, I just comment if I have something to say. At worst, nobody reads it and I was shouting into the void for a minute.
But the Lemmy userbase isn’t massive yet, so those week+ old posts still see more engagement than you’d think.
Given how little activities there are on most lemmy posts, I usually comment everytime I find a post worth commenting.
I usually decide whether to comment or not based on comment count instead of time. I’ll happily comment on weeks or months old post if it only had one or two comments, but skip over hours old post if it already has plenty of comments.
Be the person who finally posts a solution to a seven year old program, which then helps out one person needing that solution next year!
a relevant response is timeless
