## Maybe when our communities are much larger I share the others' concerns about getting fresh eyes on edits to avoid abuse (or even just errors that would motivate a re-edit). As things stand, I think the concern about "drawing away attention" is greatly overstated. I'm generally willing to look at an entire page or so of results to try to find something I can actually answer, and I doubt I'm in the minority there. And, well, right now most of our communities have content dating back a year or more on the front page. On many sites, the most recent unanswered question dates back a year or more, too. So bumping your already relatively recent stuff is just not causing that much of a distraction. Bumping an answered, 2-year-old question could cause a problem if it weren't a rare occurrence, but there's still the option to search/filter for unanswered questions (we should probably make this easier!) However, in a world where Codidact gets much larger and communities are receiving several posts per hour, I can see where there could get to be real competition between new questions and edits. It would become useful to have the default front-page view sort by the OP post date, but have a separate, easily-selected view that sorts by the most recent modification. It would also be useful for the "Edits" tab for categories to show *recent unilateral* edits, as well as just pending edits.
