IP Explore refresh for Sami

Thank you Sami, which is vitally important to me and others for staying with IP.
It also surprises me that such a thing was necessary and was not recognized by IMA itself.
I expect your positive message...

Unfortunately, you only soften, don't get to the mentioned thing and avoid the core of the matter. What a pity...

Soften? I am not trying to soften anything, but to explain.

I thinks I now figured out what is the reason of difference between those two views on Explore.

As I tried to explain, our ipernity moderator(s) do moderate Explore images at least once per 24 hours. The reason for this is that we need to keep Explore as family friendly, and filter out obvious copyright infringements and SPAM.

Now the "Explore news feed view" what you wonder about, is most likely a representation of unfiltered (not yet moderated) overview of 18 most popular images based on real time rank.

So, if some photos get very popular within the following hours after the last moderation, then one may see there images that are waiting for the next moderation.

Again an example. This photo was not yet on actual Explore yesterday evening:

That is because it was published and became popular after the previous moderation was done. This morning it is number one also on public Explore, once it was gone through the daily moderation this morning (accepted to become shown on pages that also non-subscribers can see):

If I failed to make you to understand this, then so be it. Also my patience has limits. But as promised, I will ask Rob to verify this as soon as possible, if he has time for it from more urgent issues.

P.S. Bernhard already verified that Explore algorithm has not changed at all since ima takeover. And only thing that significantly changed after ima takeover is that ima team started to moderate Explore also on Sundays. Earlier ipernity team was not doing that.

Thank you Sami...
