Why is the related posts list defaulting to open for me?
Does anyone know if there is a way to change this?
I assumed this was an intentional change. It’s happening for me too
I commented about it yesterday: #394346

Maybe it is just me but it has been a bad experience in the sports sub. Likely because most of the highly zapped posts are related to the survivor pools so if I post about the NFL games today, we get a bunch of unrelated posts about the survivor pool that ended months ago.
Even if the related posts were relevant, I would still prefer to see people's comments first and have it be offered in a different way. Something along the lines of "Want to see more content like this? Here are some related posts you might like or you could click here to subscribe".
As a poster, having the ability to assign the related posts I want might be something I am interested in. So my daily sports post, I just assign the past five days. My polls, I assign the recent polls etc.

It was an experiment. Just had a meeting with the board of directors and it will only default to open to when there are no comments.

And so it shall be, by decree of the board, back to usual business in the next release: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/commit/dc8d35fdcfdaa55b7ba30035fee5bd3a8cd00b9c
