I imagine the vague “a year ago”, etc is usually the product of some back end scaling strategy?

- klysm 3y agoI fail to see how that enables any kind of meaningful scaling.
- solumunus 3y agoI’m definitely not an expert, but my thinking was that perhaps a “sort by new” would be much faster if there were only a handful of potential values which could be indexed, rather than every single datetime value being unique.
- Kwpolska 3y agoThat doesn't sound like it. This is a frontend thing. The only sort of strategy I can think of is caching the page for a year, but you can cache it forever if you use an absolute date.
