I have noticed that conversations tend to be spanned over much longer time frames here as opposed to reddit, where a day or two old post may as well be archived. Is there some max time frame we should be respectful of for less recent posts or comments?
Dude thenewgreen hits up my shit from 2011. Go to town.
So posts and comments don't go into archive mode here?
Interesting. I wonder how the database is designed and whether that is something that will need to to be added once hubski hits a certain size.
What mechanisms are used to bring old posts to new people when someone comments on an old post?
It's in that com-boost function, which is an exponential. We were just discussing boosting the boost. (def feed-rank (p)
(let min (minutes-since p!time)
(+ (/ (let base (- p!score .9)
(if (> base 0) (expt base .8) base))
(expt (/ (+ min timebase*) 60) gravity*))
(if p!kids (com-boost p) .0)
(/ 90 (+ (expt min 2) 420)))))
That's wild, so the site is built using a LISP derivative?
Feel free to comment on any old submissions! If you find something interesting and/or feel like you can contribute, go ahead and make a comment. Older posts and submissions can be sparked by new discussion and there's no time limit that I can think of where you shouldn't make a comment.
Feels kinda weird, since I tend to raise an eyebrow when someone replies to a comment I made a week previous over on reddit or twitter.
That's fair, Reddit and Twitter are a lot faster moving and smaller attention span than Hubski. None of the posts/comments on here are archived which is a major difference from a lot of places. Also, welcome to Hubski.
Thanks, I'm enjoying learning to navigate this new style of forum.
It's kind of a bizarre experience living in PST after spending your whole life in EST.
DUDE. DID THAT AT GOLDEN GARDENS THE OTHER DAY. IT WAS AWESOME.
...did you take it at Golden Gardens? 'cuz this is the Hubski Golden Gardens Sunset Club.
....maybe one of the photo challenges should be somebody posts a photo and everybody else has to try and replicate that photo in whatever setting they're based out of.
On reddit I feel like I have to get my comment in a thread as quickly as possible if I'm going to participate in the discussion. I think it's great that older comments and threads can come back to life here, I feel like it possibly contributes towards the thoughtful nature of hubski, I don't feel rushed to comment and can ponder my responses more.
That's been my experience with reddit as well. if the post was older than a few hours I either looked for a subthread to comment in or just moved on altogether. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen here if it gets too big.
