The activities the badge is referring are:

  • Editing an existing answer
  • Editing the question
  • Adding a new answer

For example, on Integration with the RDF module the active timestamp, which is clickable, takes me to the question itself, which I edited; on NFS Directories between 2 Servers the same timestamp took me to this answer, while now it takes me to the question itself, which was edited on 2015.
