How do you feel about floating posts in the Discussion section? Like: electing a few threads that stay at top for the month/week they are active, the open threads, the monthly media thread, etc. Is that even possible with LW code?
Is the LW code open source?
If not, why not ?
Is it a fork of the reddit code ?
Can we update the reddit specific code ? (Reddit allows sticky posts since 2013 if I’m not mistaken)
Who takes care of the site ?
Yes, the code is open source. Yes, it’s a fork of the reddit code.
TrikeApps takes care of the website as a volunteer effort to help MIRI. But LW isn’t a high priority for either of them.
The github link on the source code page is dead but I managed to find this.
The code hasn’t been touched since 2009. Would it be possible that the same iteration of the code is the one that currently powers lesswrong ?

The code is on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/lesswrong/
