Trending: adjective

  1. emerging as a popular trend: trending fashion accessories.

  2. widely mentioned or discussed on the internet, especially on social media websites: trending topics on Twitter.

Over the months, I’ve come to the realization that the trending communities section is absolutely useless. Whatever algorithm is used, it doesn’t have anything to do with the community being new, active or changing in participation. Literally, the same empty 0-post communities will sit in that block without change, aside from rarely one 0-post community will get bumped by another 0-post community.

Will there ever come a time where the trending section will provide trending communities or is what’s shown actually intended?

    Oh I just assumed they were the newest communities, is that not the case?

      It’s not. I’ve had some of the same empty communities for more than a month in that block.
