This is more of a front end thing. Mastodon sometimes revives old content by people boosting an old post that could go viral again. Lemmy’s algo is designed around hiding older posts as they age. I could see this being more relevant in upcoming software like Discourse and phpbb which are adding fedi support. They’re more traditional old-school forum software and I think that revives older content better, as one user commenting on an old post will bring up a thread to the top again.

Your title implies it was directly killed, when it factually was not.

What a bad taste title
