<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOne of the things Facebook looks at is how recently there was activity on the post. If activity was recent, then it\u2019s more likely to appear higher up<\/a> on others’ feeds. This fact ties into the reason people comment \u201cbump\u201d on Facebook posts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The term \u201cbump\u201d comes from times when people would message over forums. Messaging threads on forums would be sorted by most recent activity, the more recent threads showing at the top. In order to keep threads at the top, people would comment \u201cbump\u201d on a thread to bump it up to the top. \n<\/p>\n\n\n This practice has carried over onto today\u2019s social media sites, which is why you may see people commenting bump on their own or other\u2019s posts. It causes Facebook to notice the recent activity and place it higher up in people\u2019s news feeds. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n To some, \u201cbump\u201d is also an acronym for \u201cbring up my post.\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bumping a post with a comment can be helpful for a variety of reasons. There may be a particularly important post you or a friend has posted that you want as many people to see as possible<\/a>. Once initial activity has died down on the post, bumping it up can get more eyes on it. \n<\/p>\n\n\n Another common reason to bump posts is if you\u2019re selling something on Facebook Marketplace or a group. If it\u2019s been awhile and you still haven\u2019t sold an item, bumping it can get more people to look at it. This is especially true in groups on Facebook. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, bumping a post is a good idea if you need more people to see it, as people who may have missed the post the first time around could have a second chance to see it when it gets bumped up in their news feed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to start bumping up your own posts to get more people engaged, there are some etiquette guidelines you\u2019ll want to keep in mind. It\u2019s okay to bump your own post once or twice, but doing so constantly can be seen as an annoyance to some people. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a particularly important or emergency post, it\u2019s okay to bump these more often. You may also, however, try getting friends to share it, as it\u2019ll get across many more people\u2019s newsfeed this way. \n<\/p>\n\n\nWhat Does \u201cBump\u201d Mean?\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
