Whenever I post a question in reddit or stackoverflow that doesn’t get a response, I usually delete it and post it again the next day. Because posts that don’t get any attention soon after being posted are definitely not going to get it days later. If it’s allowed people are going to do it here too. To avoid it I was going to open an issue asking for bumping as a feature but I’ve read that @dessalines doesn’t like necrobumping.
In the issue, I was going to say that bumping could be set by the admins on each instance, with numbers for the days and 0 being not allowed.
The active sort allows comments to bump posts, but limited to 2 days.
The recent comments sort allows necro bumping, and is basically a forum sort, probably what you want.
So it’s already a feature for recent comment sorting? I haven’t seen a way to bump, besides commenting on the post, but that’s messy. How would I do it?
you can also cross-post to the same sub, if you want to start a new comment-thread.
There’s no “bump button”, just new comments, which indicate new activity.
Maybe we could add an option where recent upvotes bump posts? That way people don’t have to comment generic stuff just to keep the thread alive.
meh, not even discourse or github have such a thing as a “bump” button.
