Seems the Hot algorithm chucks in the occasional ancient post.

Bug? Or feature?

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.

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

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

So someone on Lemmy.ml commented on it, causing the old thread to federate out to the instances created after it was posted?
