You can see a bit more detail about what it counts and how it’s calculated here:

lib/score_calculator.rb

main


      
          class ScoreCalculator
            def self.default_score_weights
              { reply_count: 5, like_score: 15, incoming_link_count: 5, bookmark_count: 2, reads: 0.2 }
            end
