I feel like an instance that hasn't had anything posted in a week in pretty much dead. Do you have any rules like that? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

People may or may not know this but I come from the period of forums. There was always a rule in place that said 'No Gravedigging' and what that rule meant was that you weren't allowed to 'revive' posts at least a month or older. But basically don't revive posts that are say, 7 months old or even years old. It was just bad taste.

You mind as well make a new post but give it some time first to allow it to sit and grow a little.
