So basically 24 hours after posting, there is almost no contributions coming in, and after another 24h, it’s nearly impossible to see anybody chipping in to the subject in question. Everything goes silent, almost as if it didn’t matter anymore.

In lots of the old forums I used to use, commenting on a thread would subscribe you to it. I have no idea if the software supports it, but I’d like the ability to sort by New Posts to Subscribed Threads, or something similar. I think being able to keep tabs on activity in threads you have posted in might help prolong the lifetime.
The comment about thread necromancy also brings back memories. I’m not really sure why that was ever such a taboo, especially since reposting old topics was also frowned upon…
Maybe just list of upvoted posts, I miss to review postes I liked for new comments.
I think the necro ban comes from the forum days, when unsuspecting users commenting on something old would push down new threads out of view. On platforms like these or Reddit, I find the rule a bit unnecessary though.
