Algorithm Deep Dive

Difficulty Scoring Algorithm

Our proprietary difficulty scoring combines multiple factors to determine how challenging it is to successfully post in each subreddit:

difficultyScore = (
  karmaWeight * normalizedKarma +
  ageWeight * normalizedAge +
  rulesWeight * ruleComplexity +
  approvalWeight * approvalRequired +
  selfPromoWeight * selfPromoRestriction
) / totalWeights

Engagement Score Calculation

Engagement is calculated based on active users, growth rate, and posting frequency:

  • • Active user ratio (active/subscribers)
  • • Growth velocity over past 30 days
  • • Average posts per day
  • • Comment-to-post ratio
