Digest: Difference between popular Posts and popular Topics

[Slind]

Hi,
I was wondering what the difference between popular Posts and Topics is in the weekly new email.
The Posts part seems to be identical with the weekly top page Discourse Meta
I also found this about its algo Improving the "Top" criteria
But how is the topics part different then?
Or is it just the continuation of the weekly top page below entry 5?

It feels a bit off that the first one is called top Posts although those all being Threads/Topics. Which causes a little confusion for me.

It is top posts, to see how it works, enter any topic with > 50 replies and click the “Summarize This Topic” button under the first post.

Hmm. Estou falando sobre este e-mail semanal:

A seção “Posts populares” é idêntica a Discourse Meta, que, pelo que entendi, trata de tópicos e não de posts. Esses tópicos não têm mais de 50 posts, e o post no e-mail é sempre o primeiro.

A segunda seção, “Tópicos populares”, é uma continuação resumida da primeira seção? Caso contrário, não entendo.

@Slind

the post in the email is always the first one.

That is indeed a bit pointless. We’ll soon be redesigning the activity summary mail, in which popular topics will be the first to be highlighted. I think another change we should consider is changing Popular posts to Popular replies.
