Hi everyone,
I’m currently building a niche community platform with Sngine (music-focused), and I’ve run into something that feels like a core limitation of the system.
Right now, the newsfeed is purely chronological. That means:
- New posts appear at the top
- But once a post gets pushed down, it basically “dies”
- Even if people comment on it later, it does NOT come back up in the feed
This creates a serious engagement problem, especially for smaller or growing communities:
π Conversations don’t stay visible
π Active discussions get buried
π The platform can feel “dead” very quickly
On platforms like Facebook, when someone comments on a post, it gets bumped back to the top. That keeps conversations alive and increases engagement.
So my questions:
1. Has anyone successfully implemented a “last activity” based feed in Sngine?
(e.g. sorting posts by latest comment OR post date)
2. Is there a plugin, modification, or custom solution available for this?
3. If not, how difficult would it be to implement something like:
- a "last_activity" field that updates on new comments
- and using that for feed sorting?
I really believe this could massively improve engagement and retention on Sngine-based platforms.
Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences!
Thanks in advance π
