I used to hate when this happened to me. Someone reviving a post from ages ago to answer a question that I already found months/years ago.
But hey, it could help someone else in the future if I didn't go back and post the answer to my own question (spoiler alert: I didn't) so now I just do what OP does and thank them for their time, move on with my day. Chuckle at the stupidity of my youth.
Some people get angry about things like that. Just be chill, they probably didn't notice how long ago it was posted.
I still occasionally get replies on reddit from threads that are over a decade old. I used to use reddit a lot, but that has dropped to almost nothing after switching to Lemmy.
I think it was just a few years ago they changed it to make that even possible
Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I thought it used to be possible, then for a number of years they started "archiving" posts and not allowing interaction, then they changed it back.
hm, yeah probably, I'm just not remembering when it was initially possible
