The month we (my wife and I) were able to pay for thanks to a very generous donation from this community is up on the 11th and we have nothing to put towards it due to very little help coming in atm - which means we’ll either have to start coming up with $55 every day in order to not be on the street (we have to stay in a motel right now - no family, support system, and unable to work due to disability so housing is next to impossible and being completely without shelter is a death sentence) or come up with $250 for a week, or $650 for a month in advance. Our phone bills are also past due, which we heavily rely upon for access to funds and a myriad other things for survival as well as communicating with eachother when apart. ~$90 is needed for both bills to be paid. We are down a food stamp card as well so things have been EXTREMELY difficult as of late. Any help is greatly appreciated, rent and phones are priority but we also desperately need $$ for food and medications we havent been able to fill yet either. Thank you all so much in advance. Solidarity Forever <3

As the guy who fixed active sort, I can certify that this is correct. I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a new bot that responds on a timer, repeatedly, which would provide an actual benefit, but haven’t gotten around to it as yet.
Also, stock Lemmy Active sort just uses hot sort with the most recent comment time–up to 2 days after the post is made, called newest_comment_time_necro in the DB–in place of the time when the post was made. So threads can stick around for at least 2 days, but they have to compete with all the other highly-voted recent posts.
(Ironically, I was also the one who came up with the bots idea in the first place lol)
One more thing: the job to re-sort the posts runs every 10 minutes, on the 10-minute mark (e.g. 8:00:00, 8:10:00, 8:20:00, etc), so the closer to one of those you bump, the more effective it is, and bumping more than once every 10 minutes is relatively unnecessary.
