Adding a comment to a newsfeed item forces it to the top. Even if this commentis deleted theitem still remains at the top. Even if it is an old item. for example if the post happened 3 days ago. This post remains at the top and hence the newsfeed looks like the last activity happened 3 days ago.
Omari, newsfeed reflects each and every action happening on your site. In this case the fact that somebody posted an item - is one action and the fact somebody commented on posted item -is another action. In newsfeed those 2 actions are not connected.
If I am not mistaken when somebody comments on item newsfeeed tells something like "UserA commented on UserB's $item".
How would you want the newsfeed to act in situations like you described?
E.g. I make a post a week ago. Someone comments on my post, this rightfully sends the post to the top. However if the person deletes their comment it should remove the post from the top. Else it just looks like I said something a week ago and this is the most recent site activity. As it stands if someone removes his/her comment from my post item the post item still stays on top without a comment.
"Person X posted about Y one week ago"
Alia this seems to happen on posts added to the news feed not in stories automatically generated in the news feed. E.g. Users have the ability to add items to newsfeed as comments links or media, if anyone comments on these added items thats when the bug happens. In stories automatically generated by oxwall, e.g. events forum topics etc the bug does not occur
Time Stamp: Clearly display the timestamp of each newsfeed item to provide users with a reference point. This will help them understand when the activity actually occurred and differentiate between older items with new comments and truly recent activities. Rainbow Friends: Chapter 2
I find the Oxwall newsfeed behavior really frustrating. It's disruptive to see an old post stay pinned to the top just because someone commented on it, even if the comment is deleted later. This makes the feed misleading, giving the impression of recent activity when it's actually an outdated college essay writing websitespost. Ideally, the newsfeed should reflect truly recent posts and discussions.
