Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

Bug? Or feature?

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

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.

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

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?
