Now that we have the recent updates at SN that allow subscribing to posts, I have been thinking more about how to dig up old content. I discovered @nout's profile page while looking at some of the original SN posts. I also found this discussion: #49105

You should go to his bio to see what he's talking about.

There seemed to be some support for his ideas. It would seem to me to be even more relevant now, as SN has grown since then and has much more content. Is there any interest in doing something like this?

I love digging up old content since there isn't enough content on SN yet.

There are some gems in there [0,1] which show the evolution of SN over the last 2 years.

So I agree, it would be nice to dig up good old content easier.

There were already some internal discussions regarding this to make the algorithm less dependent on the time or create a new feed with more old content iirc.

I had some time to kill last night so I started wandering around the first posts. That's how I stumbled upon @nout's profile. The two links you posted were great. I forgot to mention that if some version of the bio page idea is implemented, it would be good to have the ability to subscribe to a bio.

When subscribing to a bio, would you like to get notifications about every post and comment or only about every post?

Every comment would probably become overwhelming if it's an active user. Maybe just posts.

What if we add a RSS feed for every user profile. Would you use that or would you still like to have dedicated notifications on SN?

I would use an rss feed. What I found interesting was @nout's actual suggestion re the bio page. It looked like @k00b liked it in July of 2022. Obviously he really did his up with html. I'm thinking of doing a simpler one maybe linking to a few posts. His suggestion involved each bio page having auto updated post links, I think.
