    Can’t someone make a client or a UI which does this?

      Again, unless it works the same way for everyone then people are just replying to old discussions and no one knows about it except for the person they’re replying to.

          Look at this conversation, it’s old enough that it doesn’t show in my feed anymore (sorted by top 6h), if I wasn’t taking part in it no matter how many people replied to it I would never know it took place.

          That’s what I’m talking about, if sorting is up to the user then most people only see “fresh” content, not ongoing conversations that they might want to take part in if they realized they’re happening. Same for the comments sections, threaded makes it harder to check what’s new (have to go down each branch to get the context).

      Lemmy already has both of those sorting options built in

        Only works if everyone is sorting the same way otherwise by replying to an old post you’re just screaming in the void.
