For what it’s worth, a full 24 hours or more is more time than most reddit threads last
Comment on Why most posts (so far as I can tell) have very short lifespan tendency?

The majority of posts on Reddit are also like that. Perhaps a curse of a feed-oriented forum (or whatever this type of social media is called)

From bulletin board experiences back in the aughts - I don’t know how this wasn’t a similar problem? If it was a recent thread - it got interaction. I think that had the benefit of not having a “front page” so you could see 10 or 20 posts for each sub-forum. Which is similar enough to just going to a subreddit and looking at the most recent posts - but most folks, I think, don’t interact like that with these types of interfaces unless they have a specific thing to look for?

It wasn’t an issue because whenever someone would make a comment, it would “bump” the thread back up the top of the feed (whatever form the feed took). I think the “hot” filter is supposed to take interactions into account, but I think most people just browse top 12/24 hours.

The problem with the active sort is seeing the same post I’ve scrolled by for three days now and didn’t carw about in the first place. We need much easier methods to hide posts for that sort filter to have any use to me.

I use New Comments, though that also isn’t a great view, tbh.
