Community bumped judaism.stackexchange.com/q/69251 today. I noticed another time recently that it bumped something timely. I wonder whether it's a Baader-Meinhof-like phenomenon, or what the algorithm is.

Hm, it chooses among the top 100 viewed questions per meta.stackexchange.com/a/99690, but that's unclear as to whether it's all-time views or recent views: the latter would explain timely bumps.
