Would just increasing the number of posts on the front page be an improvement?
- manx 4y agoI think so. The first page gets much more upvotes than the second page. There is a visible step in the data: https://github.com/social-protocols/news#upvote-share-by-rank https://github.com/social-protocols/news#upvote-share-by-ran... Once a story drops to the second page, it receives fewer upvotes and can't sustain any growth anymore. Having a longer front page (we're showing 90 ranks), smooths out that effect.
