Added community leaderboard for top builders And in right sidebar top builders section it was streak based ranking but now it uses last 30 days of this new leaderboard. Because the users whose streaks were higher was always sitting in the top builders section. Now it will calculate a score based on how many posts you have made, comments made, total upvotes your product(s) have, and streak. This score will also effect how much priority your post will get in trending feed.

The feed now works for you, not against you. Want to understand how the feed algorithm works in depth and how to grow on Forg? https://forg.to/articles/how-to-actually-grow-on-forg

I have an idea for a feature in Forg. We will show exactly which people on Forg are interested in your product. We will track who visited your product's website, so you can take feedback from them. Comment down your thoughts on this.

Every time you post/comment your profile karma increases (which you can't see) This karma significantly affects if your post will go viral or not. If your post gets more likes/comments this karma increases. It makes a bit negative impact if - Your post contains external link - Your post/comment is less than 3 words.
