Yesterday I lamented re-starting a thread that was over 6 months old (I think because it was in recommended topics), not realizing that it was over 6 months old. Several people participated in a thread that I thought was current, but it wasn’t. I was embarrassed that I’d cranked up the topic again.
Now when I go to latest, I’m recommended https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-print-style-should-be-added/14921/12 , which is from April 14. (And it’s on almost the same topic that I replied to errantly yesterday) And when I look at it in Latest I see that there’s “activity” 14 minutes ago, except, there’s really not activity in over 3 years.
It was confusing enough when Suggested would send me to long-dead topics that don’t need to be revisited, but now I can’t tell from Latest whether I should visit a topic.
I’m having a hard time understanding the value of this feature.
