Should bumping be a feature? (lemmy.ml)

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.

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.
