@julian @pfefferle @elena not sure! It could make more sense for notes - I think - I’m guessing not many people edit really old notes in the way they do for articles, so it’s more likely to be a recent edit/update(?) I’m just guessing though

@julian @elena @pfefferle @heathenstorm ohhh that’s a great hypothesis. I hadn’t thought of that. Yes, high probability.
Though, still an interesting wrinkle where I would expect the feed to be sorted by published_at rather than created_at - if you know what I mean
@johnonolan @julian @pfefferle @heathenstorm ooooh interesting theory! I can do some A/B testing tomorrow
Been pondering the change in the #activitypub #wordpress plugin to depreciate Template Tags and (presumably eventually) only federate WP posts as Article objects.
@elena@aseachange.com could it be that you're editing an article that had never been federated before (aka predates the AP plugin)?
In that case the published update might be the first time a Mastodon instance sees it, and it might promote it to the top of the feed even if it's many years old?
