givesomefucks, 11 months ago Default sort for posts is “active”. So older threads show up on the front page, and because that’s what people see first, it’s what they comment on. Which keeps the post on “active” for longer. You may want to sort by “new” or “top hour”/“top 6 hours” to see newer posts. More people doing that and engaging with newer posts means they’ll show up on the default “active” sort.
