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?

    as well as what @jjagaimo@lemmy.ca said, there is also a scaled weight based on time since activity that is applied to hot/scaled sorting that allows things to bubble to the top but to slowly sink as they get older

      Yeah I’ve noticed on my top posts they’ll usually only receive interaction for about 2-3 days and I assumed that’s the general time limit for a post to be moved higher in the feed.
