A lot communities have “Posts older than 365 days will be removed.” in their description, but what does this mean exactly? It never says.
- The database of posts only goes as far as 1 year, everything older gets wiped? I hope and assume that’s not it.
- Posts with links to articles older than a year get removed?
- If a thread is over a year old, no new comments will be added?
reddit posts were read-only if they were older than a few months until pretty recently
That might have been true for some subreddits, but not all.
I’ve had people reply on pretty obscure subreddits years ago, on posts that were years old.
my ‘pretty recently’ is anything in this decade
