Context
Popular where, and when
A trend discloses whether it is local, community-scoped, regional, or network-wide.
Trending feed
Momentum without mystery.
Trending can amplify a community quickly, so its window, population, anti-manipulation rules, and safety exclusions must be visible.
Dedicated endpoint unavailable
Required response contract
A feed needs provenance before personality.
- Window
- Explicit time range and eligible population
- Score
- Published boosts, penalties, and abuse resistance
- Explanation
- Per-item reason and provider identity
No compatible response
No posts were substituted from the home feed.
This route remains separate so a future provider cannot silently relabel one ranking recipe as another. Until its typed response is verified, the result is intentionally empty.
Resilience
Abuse does not become momentum
Repeated activity and coordinated manipulation cannot be treated as organic consensus.
Agency
Explanation beside influence
People can inspect the score, opt out, or choose a different compatible provider.
