Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bug? Or feature?

[–] danwardvs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beats me!

Could it be that some deep liked that post today, and that got picked up by the hot algorithm (got a new upvote) and then snowballed over here.

Honestly I do kind of like it! It's like unearthing a time capsule lol

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a known bug with the algorithm that causes old posts to pop up from time to time. Hope it gets fixed soon

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I read that it’s related to old posts being copied to new instances

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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
