The donation list contains a lot of information, and the way it is published will affect the development of cooperation. This article incorporates comments and individuals’ tolerance of their own reputation evaluation into public goods game and then explores the influence of list retention time on cooperation. Evolutionary results show that introducing the time factor into the donation list will attract more public donations. Furthermore, by putting a small percentage of players on the list, more players’ participation in public services can be leveraged. Compared with the immediate announcement, a relatively large list retention time not only inspires people’s enthusiasm for donation but also achieves a higher level of cooperation. Historical information and diffusion probability have something to do with cooperation. Our research helps organizers to effectively solve the dilemma of insufficient public participation in public utilities.
