Sorry, i don`t know if this is the correct community to share my thoughts, but I’m wondering if lemmy team does trending posts instead of communities.

As most of us know, trending widgets are to attract the attention to specific topics, and titles play a big role in this. i believe if lemmy team switches the trending communities in the sidebar to show trending topics the widget will paly bigger role to extend the reading time.

Share your thoughts if you agree or not.

    Not in the sidebar, but, you could switch your homepage feed to All communities and sort by either active or hot to get the same effect. That’s where they would pull their posts from in this case anyways.

      In fact I’m not sure, but maybe this will allow the users discover more. for me, nice titles attract me, i like to jump from post to another with this.

        Although more engagement with a product is taught to be a good thing on itself (especially from marketing pov) it does not necessarily translate into quality of life for a user.
