It's impossible really to say. This was their official code citation:

Over the past few months, we have carefully recomputed historical votes on posts and comments to remove outdated, unnecessary rules.

I mean on the face of it, maybe they were telling the truth?

But they are a for profit corporation, and that year forward was when the enshittification really began. I guess I just have little reason to believe that they didn't just alter the algorithm to make it look like there was more engagement than there was.

Well that's a good point. I guess it's up to users to share the link to keep it alive.

This recalculation happened shortly after reddit went closed source. I don't think we should trust their word that they had all of a sudden 'fixed' the problem, whose fix just so happened to really drive their stock value.

It's not misleading, it's the reality of what happened. Their public post was PR justification. It was about that point on that every decision they made was for $ and not for transparency.

@[email protected] , sorry I didn't have it in the sidebar when you posted, can you edit your comment with a short description of what sticks is? thanks!

The idea behind this community is to allow everyone to "create" the list of active and interesting communities without having to rely on moderators to manually curate, which typically results in links to out-of-date and inactive communities.

I hadn't seen it here, I was scrolling through several pages of new communities and it was pretty much the only new active community.

I was trying to find some new communities to create an index for everyone ([email protected]) - or rather a community designed to allow people to make suggestions and upvote/downvote the actual "curated" list without moderator involvement.

[email protected] - Manual curation of great Lemmy discussions and threads

[email protected] - Discussion of climate change, activism & politics.

It is locked for new posts by design, everyone can comment. The idea is to have 5 main posts and a discussion thread. The 5 main posts can act as a user voted community list, and I can change the layout if anyone has suggestions in the discussion thread.

I figured this would actually be a fairly quick way to build a curated list without any moderator involvement - essentially commenters and voters would create the list.
