Order & ranking in newsfeeds and forums

  • Updated

Newsfeeds

In the homepage newsfeed, the section Messages of a group or a session, and the profile page of a user, we order posts according to a score, which depends on:

  • The date since publication
  • The nature of the item (post, reaction, new course, etc.)
  • The author (admin, learner)
  • The contents (text, documents, links, mentions)
  • The engagement (number of reactions, answers)

In case of equality, we favor the most recent post.

Forums

In the forum of a course's activity, a learning need, or in the correction of an open question, we display:

  • First, pending comments (ordered chronologically — oldest at the top).
  • Then, the liked posts (ordered by number of likes — most liked at the top).
    • In case of a tie, the most recent at the top.
  • Then, the rest of the posts (ordered by chronology — oldest at the top).

We make no distinction between public and internal posts in the forum.

If no post is liked, then all posts are displayed chronologically.
