"New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums"

I feel like this is underutilized and can be really good for keeping old discussions alive and reused. It brings us back to the old school forums ways. On Reddit you see the same questions being asked over and over again every month or so (especially like on r/movies), if they had the New Comments sorting method then they wouldn't have to do that. And if you could subscribe to a post to get notifications about new comments that would be even better.

Now I'm also thinking Lemmy could have a Mixed sorting option to combine some of the main sorting methods, so you could see posts from Active, Hot, Top 6 hours, and New Comments all mixed together.

Update 07:45 UTC: We've heard from workers at EVGA Spain "it's just another day at the office". So maybe it was only Kingpin/the OC team in TW that has resigned, or the whole story is completely untrue.

Update 16:41 UTC: We just received the following statement from EVGA: We saw those message and they are rumors. Our Taiwan office is still operating and Kingpin is still with EVGA. EVGA is still doing business and supporting its customers. Thanks for reaching out

UPDATE: seems like this has been fixed with the update to 0.18.1 https://programming.dev/instances

I can see their posts so I know they aren't actually banned

https://programming.dev/instances

looks like maybe they had their domain name set with the https:// in it and that was breaking stuff? has this been fixed in the Lemmy code yet? we shouldn't have to manually ban invalid domain names

EDIT: seems like BrikoX figured it out, cross-instance searches only work when logged in, I filed a feature request to make this more clear to the user https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1862

I spun up my own little instance, and I'm able to search for the community from some other instances but not all of them and I don't know why

works: https://programming.dev/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.mods4ever.com%2Fc%2Fmeta&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

fails: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.mods4ever.com%2Fc%2Fmeta&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

the curl command works fine

curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/c/meta

maybe Lemmy should dump some debugging info about these searches into the javascript console so we can debug these more easily?

Reddit made it impossible to have long-term discussions like forums do. Posts would just fade into irrelevance after a day or so, whereas with forums new comments would bump the thread.

Lemmy has a sorting option just like forums:

"New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they receive a new reply analogous to the sorting of traditional forums"

And Lemmy also has the "Active" sorting method, which says:

"Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time"

so Active seems like a compromise between Hot like Reddit and the way forums do it by New Comments
