Thanks for your feedback! I definitely plan to continue writing :-).
Here is another question - how are "weekly stats" calculated? Is it "Monday-Sunday" or every day a new "weekly counter" starts?
In my case - both posts published on Sunday. If this is the last day of the week - reactions/views on Monday will start reset, and there is less chance that those posts will get picked as "top posts" for that week.
What do you think?
Also - thanks for the tip. Do you comment regularly on every post that you write after publishing it?
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.
Weeks do run Monday to Sunday for the purposes of the top 7 posts, I have seen posts published on Sundays make it onto the top 7 posts so I don't think it has a huge impact (who knows, another good question if anyone from the DEV team answers my question(s)!)
In terms of the week and month feeds those are done in days so it has no impact what day you post (assuming the exact same performance of the post...when you post does appear to have an impact on reach!)
Yes, I always comment under my own posts and I make an effort to reply to everyone as there is an element of the initial ranking on the feed that is to do with comments. Plus I always find the comments are where the really interesting parts of an article tend to be, not that it has anything to do with your question I just thought I would add that! 🤣
Yes, replying to comments is basic 😀 my question is mostly about just commenting something (not replying to others... which is a must). It's an interesting approach!
As for the "top 7 posts" - really interesting, and it's indeed a good question.
