If people don't want reposts online, they shouldn't also lock old threads. I should be able to google something and reply to a 10 year old discussion (lemmy.world)

Freaking hell, you guys are trying so hard to find solutions to problems that didn't exist on forums, there's a reason why serious communities use them instead of Reddit style platforms.

You can't have both constant new content on your front page and long lasting ongoing discussions, first one comes with the disadvantage that discussions get lost as new content is created, second one has the disadvantage that new content is mostly found in ongoing discussions.
