From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to make Lemmy not show 3 year old posts on the front page? It starts to frustrate me that I have to check when the post was made before reading the title.
Edit: I guess I found a way. Just sort by new. I still don't understanding why sorting by active would show a 3 year old post without comments in "active" feed.
Probably because it received upvotes recently?
But to upvote you have to see the post. So who would upvote the post if it's old and buried under 3 years worth of posts if the system didn't put it the active feed for some reason? Furthermore, If it would be a one off I would understand, but now there are 12 out of 20 posts that are older than 1 year on the front page when you sort it by "Active". The oldest one (4 years) have one comment from the same time. It's some kind of bug. It has to be.

Me, I love sorting by old
I would imagine dampening how much of a boost old posts get would fix this issue.
