The 'community user' will automatically bump 1 Q >1 month old w/o any upvoted answers to the top of the main page. When you see them, you can investigate & see if there is anything you can do. I used to do that when I was more active. Also there are badges for answering a Q >1 month old & having the 1st A to +2, & answering a Q >2 months old & getting your A to +5 (revival & necromancer). | |

| Dec 5, 2023 at 8:49 | comment | added | Shawn Hemelstrand | I figured some of these may not be achievable in an easy way given the rigidity of SE. Perhaps I will consider some other ideas if I come up with any. | |
| Dec 5, 2023 at 8:46 | comment | added | User1865345 | +1 for the suggestions, for they seem prospective. However any such substantial changes require a major overhaul and that warrant a network request at Meta. In any case, close to what you envisage in point one is done by "bumping" of posts by community wiki, albeit arbitrarily. I'm not sure about how the second pointer would work - I reserve reputation points only for the quality of posts one contributes and not on other activities but this can be modified (as your third pointer suggested) to achieving more badges (presently, afair, there is an excavator badge or so). | |
