Popular Questions Filter
Hello,
What logic is used to define the questions that are considered \”Popular?\” We are trying to assess whether we can use the default popular filter for our home page or build our own model.
Thanks for your help
Thanks Rahul,
Do you have any thoughts on how we can enhance the sophistication of this logic? We’d like to take additional variables (signals) into consideration including:
- Age
- Answers
- Likes
- Follows
Most importantly, we’d like to measure recent signals to ensure the “Popular” list is always showing fresh and popular content.
Thanks for your help
yes sr. Any thoughts on how we may be able to accomplish this? May also be advantageous for other developers to know as well.
This would be a use case common to this type of platform. You’ll see it in use on Yahoo Answers, reddit, etc.
Side question: Is there any type of time decay built into the logic?
Thanks so much
Hello Tom,
Seems like an extended question 🙂
