I’ve been on here for about three or four days now, and I still don’t understand what determines a post to be cycled into the “Hot” section.
Is this based on views, message frequency, or word content? What’s the deal?

How does Hot sorting work?
The Hot sort algorithm blends the overall popularity (based on likes, reactions, or comments) of a topic since it was first created and its recent popularity based on how members are interacting with the topic. This means that Hot will surface newer, actively discussed topics alongside older, popular topics. Hot sorting is ideal for members in large, active communities that want to find conversations that are currently trending, which they might want to participate in.
I’ll leave the link

Looks like most of your posts have made it to HOT so you’re doing something right.
