In Lemmy, the active filter view is designed to prioritize posts with the latest activity, similar to how forums work. However, it remains unclear whether commenting on your own post in Lemmy will bump it on the active filter view. Some forum platforms, such as Discourse, allow a practice known as the "ghost bump," where users can make a post and delete it to draw attention to their post without adding new content[^1]. While it is uncertain if this is possible on Lemmy, it's worth noting that even if it were, it would result in an unnecessary comment that cannot be completely removed. The comment would still be visible, indicating that it was deleted by the post's creator. If you have any experience with Lemmy's active filter view or know whether commenting on your own post bumps it, please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Edit: I was wrong the ranking that works like forums is New Comments and yes it seems to take into account the OP comments.
