How will Threads show Trending Topics?
Threads’ approach to choosing trending topics involves a huge role for algorithms. As Adam Mosseri mentioned, Threads doesn’t randomly throw topics. Instead, it uses ‘learning algorithms.’ These algorithms understand user engagement. They count not just the number but also the quality of these conversations. The algorithms study how many people are actively discussing a particular topic and how many have engaged with posts about it. In core, Threads’ trending topics are not just randomly picked. They are carefully selected.
Meta is testing a trending topics feature on Threads
Recently on Threads, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO, experimented with a new feature in the United States region. This feature would be known as “Today’s Top Topics” and would present users with a curated list of trending conversation subjects circulating among Threads users.
