Can't get HF trending? - PureLethal - Oct 7, 2019
had a curious question as seen admin request before on his twitter handle to get users to post about hf on twitter with a HF hashtag. now at first i thought must be impossible. but then when you see how few tweets you need to get trending it seems easy. as right now u got a top trending tweet at 3500 tags/tweets. Now this site has thousands of members so whats stopping hf users from posting about or advertising hf on their twitter account? get this site trending which id assume would gain it alot more users in the future and some fresh faces.
Do users not wanna associate HF with their twitter account or what?
as there is more then enough users here to get it done.

Simply making a tweet with a hashtag doesn’t make it trend.

Exactly, i don't think the number of tweets is the only thing that makes it trending otherwise it would've been botted. Probably a lot of factors like likes etc

I'd assume it to be a combination of searches, tweets, retweets, likes and views. The algorithm would probably add more points to the 'trending meter' if people with a lot of followers/status were to tweet out the hashtag.

Difficult indeed because they don't publicly disclose their algorithm:
https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-trending-faqs
But some people tried to figure it out:
https://rethinkmedia.org/blog/how-does-twitter-decide-what-trending
https://www.adweek.com/digital/how-twitters-trending-feature-can-be-applied-to-every-area-of-business/
https://blog.hootsuite.com/twitter-algorithm/
But like you said, there's no definitive answer. Maybe if someone here would be inclined to go work for Twitter and leak the algorithm out to us, that would help a lot.

Sounds mysterious like the Xerotic's new MOTM award algorithm.

Tagging isn't all about making things trend. It's about creating a dialogue on a topic.

it needs a lot of interaction on the # from legit accounts, not just spam blasting it across 3500 tweets

It’s simply based on impressions, interactions, tweet reach & tweet count all put into a formula to calculate an average which is then compared against other hashtags which then produces the list.
This seems the most logical explanation of it for me when I think about it. I may be wrong but who knows.
Either way, @op; it’s not that simple. :)
