Codidact Meta

I usually edit my own posts a lot of times in order to improve them. This put the corresponding post on top of the "main post page list" (for e.g. meta.codidact.com).

However, most of the time I do very little changes to my post (correct a typo, add a link, etc.), so it does not deserve to draw attention to the post in question.

In this case, a general recommendation could be: "Avoid editing a post for small modifications (e.g. correct a typo) because it affects the visibility of other posts"

Starting from this postulate (which could obviously be discussed ;-), the question is:

How to edit a post for small modifications without affecting the visibility of other posts?

Proposal

A solution could be to allow the author of the edit to choose if they wants to put the post on the top of the list or not (the default behavior could be to move the post on top, as it is currently done).

This could be achieved, for e.g., by adding a check box at the end of the edit view which could look like this:
