Why most posts (so far as I can tell) have very short lifespan tendency? - Feddit

So basically 24 hours after posting, there is almost no contributions coming in, and after another 24h, it’s nearly impossible to see anybody chipping in to the subject in question. Everything goes silent, almost as if it didn’t matter anymore.

The majority of posts on Reddit are also like that. Perhaps a curse of a feed-oriented forum (or whatever this type of social media is called)

A true curse. The more communication strays from a forum or a mailing list, the less I participate because it’ll be obvious the discussion is long gone and over. I’ll write something, no one will see it, the end.

From bulletin board experiences back in the aughts - I don’t know how this wasn’t a similar problem? If it was a recent thread - it got interaction. I think that had the benefit of not having a “front page” so you could see 10 or 20 posts for each sub-forum. Which is similar enough to just going to a subreddit and looking at the most recent posts - but most folks, I think, don’t interact like that with these types of interfaces unless they have a specific thing to look for?

Yes, that does sound about right. Less of a problem, but still a problem to an extent.
