My brother, this is that website
No, it's not. Unless they only allow the sorting of threads based on which discussions has the newest comment (bumping) and remove comment nesting (so discussions are ongoing instead of branching off which makes it difficult to keep up with what's new in the different threads), it's not that website.
Can't someone make a client or a UI which does this?
Lemmy already has both of those sorting options built in
Only works if everyone is sorting the same way otherwise by replying to an old post you're just screaming in the void.
They have [email protected]
Lemmy is just a forum set to sort by new posts, not new comments.
Again, unless it works the same way for everyone then people are just replying to old discussions and no one knows about it except for the person they're replying to.
How so? I generally scroll to the bottom on here
You can use "New comments" to see, well, new comments.
Look at this conversation, it's old enough that it doesn't show in my feed anymore (sorted by top 6h), if I wasn't taking part in it no matter how many people replied to it I would never know it took place.
That's what I'm talking about, if sorting is up to the user then most people only see "fresh" content, not ongoing conversations that they might want to take part in if they realized they're happening. Same for the comments sections, threaded makes it harder to check what's new (have to go down each branch to get the context).
I see this comment two days in the future.
We probably could promote using "New comments" more.
Isn’t that exactly what “Active” sort does?
Only works if it's the way everyone is sorting their feed.
