Frequent posters shown on Latest page

curi · August 6, 2022, 5:19am

I’ve noticed multiple times that a recent and frequent poster in a topic doesn’t show up in the 5 icons on the latest page. Example:

The middle 3 icons there say “frequent poster” if I hover my mouse (the left is the original poster and right is most recent poster). It’s showing people with 1-2 posts over a guy with 20 posts who is also currently the second-most-recent poster:

How is it picking who to show if not by frequency and/or recency of posts?

I think the query is in

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/models/topic_featured_users.rb

# frozen_string_literal: true

class TopicFeaturedUsers
  attr_reader :topic

  def initialize(topic)
    @topic = topic
  end

  def self.count
    4
  end

  # Chooses which topic users to feature
  def choose(args = {})
    self.class.ensure_consistency!(topic.id.to_i)
    update_participant_count
  end

  def user_ids

This file has been truncated. show original

Though I am not 100% sure how to decipher it.
