Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
I think we are crossing from what DEV picks to what is popular in the feeds here. I am talking about the stuff DEV puts in the weekly newsletters, on social media etc.
For where things appear in the feed you can examine the source code of Forem on GitHub. github.com/forem/forem/blob/c842d1... might be one place to have a poke around and explore from there!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for working out which posts gain natural traction etc. I would suggest looking at times they were posted using the API and which tags they use in addition to the analysis so far.
inhu.co/dev_to/analyse/timeofday.php may be useful (the table at the bottom) as it is a very rough analysis on what time of day posts were published vs number of likes (with the top 5% and bottom 5% of posts removed to avoid the skew). It doesn't take into account when popular authors post etc. but hopefully it gives you some more information to work with! The data is based on every single live post on DEV (about 3 months ago, I need to update the data).
What DEV picks and places in social media and stuff can't be analyzed properly – It can only be tracked. My best guess is it mostly contains stuff geared at beginners.
That code seems intresting... I'll surely check it out!
As for what I'm tracking, I plan to track stuff in the feed (in an incognito window of course), the weekly newsletter, and some other stuff using the APIs.
I remeber that post which you're talking about. It's some intresting (but not the most useful) data. I'll check that out too

Nice timing! I'm taking an analysis on this (by tracking top 7 posts, bla bla). So far, I found a few things:
