this project seems interesting, will have to keep an eye on it

Being able to comment on old posts is interesting.

Could lead to problems or more interesting things.

I like it. It encourages people to use threads for deeper discussions rather than make a new post.

Wowza. Forgot all about this

See what I mean, neat

I hope that we see a culture that appreciates this rather than the often mindless complaints of necroing you'd see in forums.

Necroposting is cool (when you actually have something to say)

I dig it as well, especially if the post is more technical and further comments help clarify things.

Could lead to problems

this is why I sort by "New Comments" for the Moderator View

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Been receiving replies for over a year

Which is still neat

Lol yea. Very nice that Lemmy supports old threads unlike Reddit, the forums-style "New Comments" sort is such a good alternative to the other sorting methods. It should reduce the "need" for reposts, especially combined with Lemmy's nice auto-search when making a post.
