Thanks! Has there been any consideration of somehow “de-aging” posts from March 30 or March 31, or serious posts from April 1, in the future? I felt that some of those got short shrift because of the influx of / activity on all the April Fools’ posts.
It is vaguely analogous to there being a server shutdown for 1-2 days, which the system doesn’t account for when deciding what posts to show on the homepage. I understand hesitancy to mess with what the algorithm puts on the homepage, but with this being an annual occurrence adjustments could be done in an open and transparent manner.

It seems the forum team already did it for at least one post , and I agree it’s worth considering for all posts next year
