Comment on One thing I hope to see in the Fediverse is people engaging with old content

We don’t know how the fediverse would play out in the long term but I expect a few things:
- Lemmy devs will implement locking old posts in the future
- instance owners will decide on their post locking policies
- Many instances will not survive for as long as Reddit survived till today
- Third party archivers (perhaps archive.org among others) will need to step in and archive posts. Ofc archived posts is not interactible.

I agree with your points. Especially the third one. I do hope a majority of instances op-out of locking posts but I could see large instances like lemmy.world definitely jumping to do it and focus more on new content and expansion
