Hmm, on the one hand Lemmy doesn’t move old posts to the top again unless there is a lot of new activity (so no “necrobumping”) and still being able to answer a specific question of a user after some time seems good to have.
On the other hand, community moderators might easily overlook spam and other bad content posted later in threads (as they are not bumped up to the top as in regular forums) but that bad content would still show up on searches. So from a moderation perspective it is probably helpful if threads get closed automatically after a while…
We do have a sort that allows necro-bumping, called New Comments, which is basically a forum sort. It would be ideal for use in 101 / question / answer type communities.
