I’ve come across an interesting question on the threadiverse that was asked two years ago and still hasn’t been answered.

What do you all think is an acceptable time frame for responding to unanswered posts?

Is there a general rule for when it’s too late to give an answer?

    Unlike reddit where the turnover of content is very quick (i.e. don’t bother commenting on a popular post if it’s more than 2 hours old), lemmy/piefed is slower and a lot of people still sort feeds by active and scaled. So commenting on a very old post can very well still be noticed by other people, let alone the person who posted it.
