Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
"Last Activity"
What exactly counts as "Last Activity"? Does that include comments or edits or votes, or just answers? And what kind of activity prompts moving a question up higher in the list that I see (since it isn't just chronological by questioning date)?

Last activity tracks changes to (or creation of) posts -- asking a question, adding an answer, editing, or deleting. I'm not sure about closing and reopening questions, which are also events affecting posts.
It doesn't track comments or votes.
On SE there is a bot that also randomly bumps some older posts. On the one hand it reminds us of older posts we might have missed the first time around, but on the other hand, it can sometimes be a bit noisy, especially on less-active sites. We took a different approach, adding (on Q&A, not everywhere) the "lottery" tab. If you want to browse a random selection of older posts, go there. The lottery isn't very interesting now on this site because everything here is new, but as we grow (and on some other Codidact sites) this view should be more useful.
