trending... i think that would probably have to do with upvotes and multiple people commenting hahaha
so it can't be gamed. but.... I don't really follow "trending"
i never have - not on any platform. not unless there is a way to really trust that its trending because of a genuine community response and not just heavily swayed by money/power/stake. lol
I think the only way money can influence it is if it gets boosted? It's still nice to see deserving posts make it :)
here? no if someone with a lot of stake (aka money) upvotes your post - it gets a higher value and i think that pushes it into trending too
Oh, then in theory someone could just use a second account to do it :( ...
