It's very common for forums to have rules against posting in a thread that hasn't seen any activity for an arbitrary amount of time. When you do that, you will often cause a thread that has fallen from the front page to bump back to the top of the front page. It's not clear why this is a problem, though. Maybe regulars just dislike seeing old topics brought back up?

On my instance, I follow most of the biggest communities with a "seed account" to fill out the "all" feed. This seems to work pretty well.
My guess is that there was some guidance in the prompt for the names since a lot of them are similar.
