The feed that is moving right now

Votes push a meme up, and the older a meme gets the less each of its votes weighs. So a fresh meme with a couple of upvotes overtakes yesterday's meme with a pile of them: the top of the feed keeps changing instead of freezing.

hot = (up − down + 1) ÷ (hours since posting + 2)^1.5

Two upvotes and no downvotes in the first hour beat ten upvotes from yesterday. A meme with more downvotes than upvotes drops below everything with a positive score, and it only comes back up once the upvotes outnumber the downvotes again.

The best so far

Sorted by the net score — upvotes minus downvotes — highest first. Memes with the same score are ordered by date, newer above older. Votes do not expire here: a meme keeps what it earned.

This is counted over the catalogue the page is showing (the last 2 000 published memes), so it is the best of what is live now rather than an archive for all time.

Just published

Strictly by publication time: the newest submission is first. Votes do not affect this order at all — a meme stays where it landed even if it is voted down.

What a vote does

• One vote per meme per account: up, down or none. The other arrow switches it, the same arrow takes it back.
• Up is +1 and down is −1, and the score behind the ranking is upvotes minus downvotes — your own vote included.
• Votes count from accounts older than a day. A brand-new account can still vote, it just does not move the ranking yet.
• A negative score only lowers a meme in the feed. Taking a meme down is the moderators' job, not the voters'.

Pages and tags

• A feed shows 20 memes at a time: Show more at the bottom adds the next 20, or just keep scrolling.
• Pick a tag in the left rail and Hot, Top and Fresh keep working inside that tag.
• Everyone sees the same order: it is worked out in the page from the same votes, with no personal feed, promoted posts or ads.

Something broken, or an idea? Write in Feedback.

How to send feedback

Ideas and bugs go to the same place: the Feedback page. Posting needs an account — sign in first (the list itself can be read by anyone).

1. Open the account menu and pick Feedback, then New post.
2. Choose the type: Idea goes to the vote, Bug report is for something broken.
3. Write a title (at least 3 characters). For a bug add details: what you did and what went wrong (at least 10 characters).
4. Press Post. Your post starts with your own +1, so it is in the list straight away.

After that it works like the feed: everyone votes +1 or −1, Top shows the ideas most people want and New the freshest ones. A moderator moves the status on — Planned, Done (or Fixed for a bug), Declined — and you get a notification when it changes, the same as for a comment. Your own post or comment can be deleted by you.

Two limits worth knowing: five posts a day (and no more than five in ten minutes), and accounts younger than 7 days cannot post links yet.
