even if people keep posting in the same thread on voat the thread doesn't get seen unless you go hunt for it. If it bumps to the top it is immediately visible and everybody realizes that something new might be happening with a topic

Actually, this isn't true. Not if you are viewing via HOT. Anything people are commenting in rises to the top of HOT. And if you are viewing TOP, anything people are upvoating rises to the top. People just don't use it very effectively to keep posts alive. This is why it might be an interesting experiment to try a One-Thread-per-Topic Rule for a month or so.

If you find something new about a topic and you add it to a thread because you want others to look and participate you would have to ping a bunch of people to get them to look at it or nobody will know new information is found.

This is true...although we could add a "NEW Info" flair. If we culled all but one thread, people would have to read the new comments to find out new info.

Great thread. My two cents.

One piece of reality seems to be that this site is working well enough to cause lots of stress on some persons. ie the said to be expensive bots hammering voat.

It could be the chaos that we suffer through, that is actually working in our benefit. The treads at present get lost so fast, they need to be carried forward in the minds of those who are here because they care for the children. Our collective memory ability is building. A hive mind is happening.

Chaos is a creative space. Lets think carefully before changing the recipe.

The user would need to ping a mod and request one. But...we can have up to TWENTY flairs now on the new platform.

I don't know. That would be a question for v/voatdev. You might be able to guestimate the answer, though, by looking at HOT and examining the number/post time/frequency of comments.
