Yeah true, but don't feel discouraged if OOP never reads it in similar situations, a good answer is a good answer somebody will read and appreciate it, especially for this common-ish "What can I do with X old hardware?" type questions lol
I can't tell you how many times I myself was able to glean some insight from ancient forum threads where I was never the OP lmao
Fair enough. I'm a bit unsure whether that happens on Lemmy. My old posts and comments rarely get any votes, interactions or corrections after say two weeks. These people must either be completely passive, or no one reads it after that. With a few minor exceptions. But you're right. This has happened to me, too. So you have a point here.
