I liked the old “classic DEV” pots that would show up in your home feed! (I think that is what they were called)

Yeah, we'll probably get those back in. We kind of quietly lost them without giving it as much thought when we made some other adjustments in the feed.

My personal paralysis on this is the concern of needing to be able to mark posts as out of date in some way.

If users had the ability to bump posts themselves, then at least they could update them and/or select stuff that's still timely.

To shave this yak further, I'd like to have more first class tools in general in terms of updating/versioning posts.

Another quick thought -- the maybe 100 infinity posts are probably pretty timeless, could just randomly throw some of those on the home page for people?

Yeah, I actually think the concerns I mentioned above can be solved fairly simply.

This mostly fell to the wayside due to other priorities or fires lately.
