the decay rate algorithm has been slowed down, making it a bit harder for new content to displace old content on the top of the rankings.

I noticed this as well. A few weeks the big AMAs were already far down the morning after. Now it's much better.

I wonder why this is 🤔

It feels like the SN algorithm is ranking posts more effectively these days.

The good posts are sticking around for a bit longer, and the extra time on the board seems to be creating room for better discussion.

One other benefit is that I no longer have to think about what time of day I make a SN post, the good content will generally find its way to the top of the page.
