Position Comparison of Statistical Data

Addendum: My personal impression is that the number of comments seems to have an effect nevertheless. One could find this out by empirical analysis of the positioning even without knowledge of the algorithm. Alternatively, one could carry out targeted test series. For both I lack the time. Besides: what do I do with the knowledge? Manipulate the position of my posts? What for? There are really more important things in my life than dealing with whether and at what point a picture of me appears in "What's hot".

But to be honest: Sometimes I play with the community. Because I know very well which kind of pictures the majority likes. I then have fun uploading a picture of that kind. And look: The community works as expected: www.ipernity.com/doc/bergfex/50043336 (more than 50 FAVs).

Don't worry, Bernhard. I know about the difficulties to find the algorithm of "Explore/What's hot", and it is not my intention to overwhelm or challenge you at this, i.e. an inappropriate time. It is only important that this project is actually considered within the reprogramming. And you make that clear here yourself. Thank you.

The number of comments has an effect on the placement of an image, but since 2013 or 2014 it is no longer relevant for the appearance on "Explore/What's hot". This is another reason why you can actually invest the time and energy for an analysis in more important things.

Playing may and must be from time to time, if it does no harm to anyone. ;))

Okay. I have no idea WHAT we're talking about half the time!
