How To Get On The Interesting Page On Mylot?

I was wondering whether it was just a random selection that gets put on the front page of the site, or do the admin choose what appears on the front page? I noticed hot section is to do with the number of comments and likes, but was wondering how I can get my post on the normal explore front page (interesting tab). By front page I mean when you click on explore and the front page on there it navigates to the interesting posts. Anyone know if it is just random?

@ZainaManzoor There is most recent . . which is where the most recent posts go. . . Top rated - well, those with the most likes over the past 24 hours. . . hot - those with most comments. . . interesting page - which is based upon personal tags. . . But I have never seen a front page!

@destry I think I meant interesting page. What is classed as most interesting? Do the admin pick them?

It isn't random. It is likely selected by some automated process, which has certain triggars. Those are part of the algorithm, and kept secret.

There's no secret about it. MyLotBugs has said that it is based on the tags that you have used in the past.

@gudheart a lot of people spend an extraordinary amount of time trying to figure it out. It could be random initially, then posts longevity is based off of user interaction.

In my opinion it appears randomly there is no hard and fast rule to appear on that.

someone told me that interesting topics are selected based on you hash tags

The correct word is 'tags'. MyLot doesn't recognise hashtags (in the form '#hashtag').

I'm not sure how the Interesting ones work, never seen mind there, but seen yours there many times. I would be interesting to know how it all works but I can't see that happening then again maybe.

@gudheart Oh ok, need to know which tags lol.
@gudheart (12659)

Apparently it depends on the tags we have used and if people use similar ones they end up on the interesting section.

Oh, I hope people will read the comments before they get confused with the idea of "Front page" from just reading your title...

I have no clue but if you happen to find the answer you should post it so that the rest of us know how we can possibly get on there if we want.

@lokisdad I wonder how your Interesting discussions list looks like... Does it have only few discussions listed? Maybe with "food", "cooking", and "money" as tags for those are the ones you've used the most...

It is to do with tags :D If we use the tags previously than the posts shown up on the interesting section will reflect our personal interests by what tags we have used.

I have no idea about the criteria but perhaps it is just random selection. I don't really go to explore often so I don't notice which posts are there. I most look at the discussions of my connections.

@gudheart,Sorry,no idea.In fact,I have never thought about it.I have once seen one of my posts figuring among most interesting posts.

It's based on the tags that you use. It's nothing to do with whether something really IS interesting.
