Question: does the trending page also use engagement with posts (reposts, comments) as well as likes
comments
I don’t think so
Does it have recency bias? I've seen posts that have say, 6 likes and 10 comments higher on trending than a post with 7 likes and no comments. Is that because the first one was posted more recently?
Yes, sometimes, posts that are more than 24 hours ago are on the page, but not as high.
Here, you can see my post has a lot more comments than jeffalo’s but because he has one more like than me, he ranks higher
but that could be the recency bias I was talking about. who knows
oh, ig you do have a point, I’ll ask in the wasteof discord and get back to you as soon as I can
