Information About The Post

In Explore, it matters how quickly your post is becoming popular. This popularity is counted in terms of likes, comments, shares, and saves. From these signals, information is gathered.

History of Interaction

Your posts might be shared by someone unknown. But if you have interacted with the person previously, it helps in ideating your level of interest in their shared posts.

Your Activity

All your interactions with previous posts in terms of liking, commenting, saving, and sharing are also driving factors of the algorithm.

Information About The Person

Details like the number of people interacting with the person of any particular posts in the past few weeks help in discovering new content among a wide range of people.
