Perhaps we really can come up with something "better", that doesn't merely list the things everyone has already seen, but that aids discovery of interesting conversations. This is merely a statistical problem.
We will think about it. 🤔

I think @PABLOF7z and @Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 are already working on it. Can they be in on the bounty?
You assume people are constantly watching their feeds. I don't. I get a lot of value from the trending.
No, most people look at trending, is what I assume. Some of the clients have it really prominent. But if trending just looks like what their feed would look like anyway.... 🤷♀️
Who isn't following Jack, Gigi, Lyn, Odell, Calle, and Carla, or having their content reposted ad nauseum in their feed?
The trending list seems to mostly be a condensing of our feeds, so that each post only appears once, rather than 58 times. 😂 So, that is value added.
Absolutely. But we are talking global stuff here, not personalized. And for newcomers you have nothing to personalize on, they don't follow anyone yet. We may all agree personalized is better than global (and yet most apps still haven't adopted it?), but if you want or need global, then please show me algo that's much better, I will happily zap it and use it.
Personalised is easy, most people don't follow junk, so input is high quality. Try any simple algo on global and you'll get garbage. Or maybe not, then you get zapped and everyone wins.
