I'm sorry. I'm used them to point the attention in them.

Here is Gemini explanation about "up"

To bring the thread "up" in the list: In forums, messaging apps, or other discussion platforms, threads often get pushed down as new posts are made. Typing "up" or "bump" is a way to make a new post in that thread, which in turn brings it back to the top of the list of active discussions.
