Add a note stating how posts are scored. #45

I noticed that I have no idea if it crawls total upvotes or score so it would be good to have it mentioned at the end of the post.

It uses the score (which I believe is upvotes - downvotes). I put that in brackets after the title. Perhaps it needs an Emoji there? Or maybe I need to put 👍upvotes 👎downvotes to make it clearer (and still rank by score as it makes more sense).

I think having both upvotes and downvotes shown and having posts ranked by score would be good. There would be still a need to clarify that it's ranked by score unless you decide to keep this metric as well. And what do you mean by "after the title"? Do you mean in the title at the end or in the top of post's body?

In the title at the end.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Yeah, I don't think this stuff should be in the title. It's a note like any other. There's no reason for each daily post to have an explanation on how posts are ranked in the title. Imo this should be just a note at the end of the post because once you learn it you don't need the constant reminder about that.

Ah, no, this is the ranking in the title, not the explanation which hasn't been added yet.

I just reread the thread and it clicked for me. I thought you meant the title of the 'best of' post and it ended up that way. Haha.
