Yes! I hated that on reddit. I would sometimes have a cool thing to add, but because the thread was 8 hours old and had a thousand comments already, virtually no one would see it. There were some exceptions: on TV episode discussions sometimes they’d use new/contest mode default sorting for the thread and you didn’t feel like you were shouting into a void.
The hack on reddit used to be to hijack a top comment. Post something vaguely related to that comment, then add whatever you wanna add. It’s silly that this was required at all.

Also I get more up votes and less down votes over hear. Less people trying to game the system, since there is no real reason to.
You wrote this 13 hours ago, and I’m just seeing it now and commenting here to agree with you. I love lemmy.
