By bump system I mean someone interacting with a post causing that post to move higher in the main feed.
If so what are the specifics? Is it just upvotes? Just comments? What about if someone archives your post?
Also what’s to stop someone from trying to manipulate their own post by adding new comments to try to raise the post in the feed to get more interaction?
Not really but kinda. Depends on how you sort the feed. There’s new comments / active / most comments (and maybe scaled?) which factor in number of comments but if you don’t sort by that then number of comments doesn’t affect it in the feed. Also, someone who comments a lot of nonsense is probably going to get blocked, down voted, reported / banned or their posts removed.
There’s also top hour/the/12hr/day/week/month/year, controversial, new, etc. which won’t factor comments in.
I didn’t even think about how you browse the feed effecting it but that makes sense.
And yeah I could definitely see someone getting banned or whatnot for being excessive.
I was mainly curious to see if there aren’t any small ways to try to boost interaction on a post. I’m not tryna spam stuff though if my post fails it fails 🤷♂️
Personally, I sort by new - no bumps for you!
I think it depends on how you sort the feed
