  • The code for the hot post selection can be found in the [app/controllers/application_controller.rb file](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/blob/develop/app/controllers/application_controller.rb) (search for hot_questions).
  • Eligible for Hot Posts are all **Questions or Articles** that
  • - have **any activity in the last seven days**,
  • - are in an **eligible category** (can be changed per-category) and
  • - have a score over a per-community **score threshold**
  • **Sorted by descending score**. The maximal number of top posts (number configurable per-community) are chosen for the board.
  • And about the specific post you mentioned: There was recent activity, namely the deletion of one answer by its author, which is apparently enough to trigger "activity in the last seven days".

The code for the hot post selection can be found in the [app/controllers/application_controller.rb file](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/blob/develop/app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L159-L174).

Hot Posts are all **Questions or Articles** that

- have any activity in the last seven days,
- are in an eligible category (can be changed per-category) and
- have a score over a per-community score threshold

sorted by descending score. The top posts (number configurable per-community) are chosen for the board.

And about the specific post you mentioned: There was recent activity, namely the deletion of one answer by its author, which is apparently enough to trigger "activity in the last seven days".
