  • Can "last activity" provide more context on what was that happened?
  • Can "last activity" provide more context on what it was that happened?
  • Currently (November 2020), the list of questions displays a "last activity" under each one of them. It refers, obviously, to when and who made the last action in the Q&A thread and links to the user that did that.
  • However, there are cases where the activity is not obvious or, to put it simple, would be nicer to know exactly _what_ changed immediately, without the need to browse all the Q&A pair and see if somebody answered, an edit was performed in a post, etc.

  • Let's say things like:
  • > X edited [the question] about 6 hours ago
  • > X posted [an answer] about 6 hours ago
  • > The question was reopened about 6 hours ago
  • Where [something] is a link to the post itself.
