What mechanisms are used to bring old posts to new people when someone comments on an old post?

If someone follows you, and you share old content, it becomes one of your shares. I'm not sure how mk and forwardslash and crew weight "freshness" but it is weighted.

  (def feed-rank (p)
    (let min (minutes-since p!time)
      (+ (/ (let base (- p!score .9)
              (if (> base 0) (expt base .8) base))
            (expt (/ (+ min timebase*) 60) gravity*))
         (if p!kids (com-boost p) .0)
         (/ 90 (+ (expt min 2) 420)))))
It's in that com-boost function, which is an exponential. We were just discussing boosting the boost.

...or making it user-adjustable...

Oh damn. I like it.

That's wild, so the site is built using a LISP derivative?

It's written in arc.
