We’re still working to find a solution for the posting slowness in large communities.

We have seen that a post does get submitted right away, but yet the page keeps ‘spinning’

So right after you clicked ‘Post’ or ‘Reply’ you can refresh the page and the post should be there.

(But maybe to be sure you could copy the contents of your post first, so you can paste again if anything would go wrong…)

    you are going to meet a lot of OG redditors in the next few weeks. Old reddit had Big O in every post, even posts with cute animals.

      That’s pretty neat! I’ve honestly never seen it mentioned on Reddit before, so got a bit excited to see someone mention it here, admittedly maybe too excited.

        there was a time, before the digg invasion, where someone would post a picture of a woman feeding 30 cats and there would be Big O jokes about how well this would work and crazy modifications to the situation to improve it. This would be almost every thread at one point on the site. I miss it.

          That actually sounds like something I would have enjoyed. I joined Reddit around the time it started taking over, I think.

            Those years before the Digg invasion are often the magic and mythic times OGs speak of, lots of amazing happened after too, but that early culture was almost entirely washed away by Digg and subsequent mainstreaming of some subs. the move from being a focus on quality link aggregation to a points game really helped push things down hill.

            At this point I’m not sure meta-moderation is really a workable system and I kind of hate internet points. There are some new tools and techniques we can try in a system like this.
