Digest: Difference between popular Posts and popular Topics

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.

嗯，我说的就是这个每周邮件：

“热门帖子”部分与 Discourse Meta 完全一致，据我理解，该页面展示的是主题（Topics）而非帖子（Posts）。这些主题通常没有 50 多条回复，且邮件中显示的帖子总是第一个。

第二个部分“热门主题”，这是第一部分内容的简要延续吗？否则我无法理解它的含义。

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.
