Global uses a shared ranking. Your signed-in home uses choices you made, including joined communities and profile country, through a published World Mix — never a hidden interest profile built from clicks or reading time.
With the same sort, time window, geography, and flair filters, Global uses the same ordering for everyone. Your safety controls can hide content from that shared list, but your reading behavior does not rearrange it.
Open Global →Home targets three stories from communities you joined, then one exploration story from outside them. Exploration prefers a different region from your profile country.
Rotation depends on the day and account, not what you open, pause on, vote on, or share.
These are the exact formulas the feed uses. Pick a sort and you'll see precisely what it does.
sign(score) · log₁₀(max(|score|,1)) + age_seconds / 45000Balances a post's score against how long ago it was posted, so fresh, well-liked posts rise and everything decays with time.
order by created_at descStrictly newest first. No scoring at all.
order by score desc, within a time windowThe highest-scoring posts in the chosen window (day/week/month/year/all).
score / (hours_since_post + 2)^1.2Posts gaining votes quickly for their age — momentum, not totals.
order by comment_count desc (recent)Whatever the world is talking about most right now.
votes^0.7 · min(up,down)/max(up,down)Lots of votes with an even up/down split — the posts that divide the room.
