Keeping up with the content in active communities can be challenging. Outside of reading everything created in your community, how can you be sure that you’re reading what’s resonating most with your members?

Introducing **Hot** , the newest topic sorting option that helps you discover what’s currently trending in your community based on recent likes and lively discussions. Think of it like the trusty **Latest** filter, but a bit smarter — **Hot** helps you discover content that is recent and resonant with your community members.

## How does Hot sorting work?

The **Hot** sort algorithm blends the overall popularity (based on likes, reactions, or comments) of a topic since it was first created and its recent popularity based on how members are interacting with the topic. This means that **Hot** will surface newer, actively discussed topics alongside older, popular topics. **Hot** sorting is ideal for members in large, active communities that want to find conversations that are currently trending, which they might want to participate in.

## How is it different from Top?

Unlike **Hot** sorting, which looks at a combination of overall popularity and _recent_ popularity, **Top** sorting only looks at the overall popularity for the selected time period (e.g., week, month, etc.). **Top** is most useful when you’ve been away from the community for an extended period of time and want to read up on what happened.

## How do I turn on Hot sorting in my community?

If you’d like to use Hot sorting in your community, head to **Admin** \> **Settings** and filter for “top menu”. You can then select `hot` in the drop-down menu to add it to the top menu navigation options.

## Can I make Hot my default home page?

Yes! As an admin, you can set **Hot** as the default sorting option in your community, as we have done here on Meta. To set this up, go to the **top menu** setting ( **Admin \> Settings \> Basic Setup** , as shown in the above section) and use the arrows to move `hot` to the top of the list of sort options.

As an end user, you can change your preferred default home page by going to **Preferences \> Interface** and updating the **Default Home Page** setting to your preferred option.
