That would be a nice feature, unless I’m missing it

    I’ve already implemented it as an extension a few weeks ago, in addition to a few more features I wanted in Lemmy, but the Firefox addon store had problems and was not accepting and addons. Not sure if it is fixed now.

    This really would be great to be the default for link opening, rather than having to work around it

      Are you just going around to year+ old threads and posting on them?

      Check the GitHub if a feature req. for this exists. If it doesn’t, then add one. The developers aren’t likely to see your random comments on ancient posts.

        Oh wow, I have no idea how that happened! I was on an app, maybe the sorting is a bit off. I’ll see if I can recreate it to figure out what happened.

        Edit - there seems to be a few old posts from various instances showing in the .world feed when sorted by All and Hot - but that’s across the website and apps, not specific to an app. Maybe it is people somehow digging them up, but I didn’t do a search or anything like that to get to this post - it was just in the All-Hot feed and no one else had posted before me. Looking at the docs, sorting should be Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published.

        All-Hot feed:

        https://lemmy.ml/post/60804 this post as an example also has some new comments on it, but I can see how that would end up in my feed as there are comments from earlier today before mine.

        If you’re suddenly seeing old posts being commented on and it has only started today, maybe there is an issue after the latest update? If it is all working as designed, not sure how I would have got to this post. If I’m not understanding the sorting correctly, can you explain it for me please if you get time?

        Don’t really have the time to look into it any more, but you may see more of this for whatever reason!
