The Week in Review (a thread) ➼ Follower numbers going crazy, down by a lot ➼ Rewards leaderboard scores are weird (probably points being removed because people are marked as spam) ➼ Overall engagement is down/strange ➼ Much confusion and people feel down on themselves and are taking it personally. Don’t. It’s not you.

There's also decay on leaderboard points, so you see a higher score and then suddenly a lower one. It's a bucket with holes in the bottom

Theory is it’s people getting marked as spam.

Without time-decay, early posts would stay on top indefinitely. Multiplier steadily erodes each like, so you must keep earning fresh engagement to remain visible. This also discourages one-off like buying or trading because burst spikes fade quickly. Spam flags further reduce scores. Scores still fall if the decay on older likes outweighs the value of new ones

Your Top 50 casts are scored. So you don’t lose points this way.

I’m not participating in the leaderboard; I was just curious about the mechanisms involved and analyzing for fun. So the cast cap prevents backlog drag, but within the window, score drops unless new engagement outpaces decay? I assume the 51st top-level cast (oldest one) drops from scoring, and any remaining value it had is lost?

That’s my assumption as well. Only your top 50 earning casts count. This change happened because automated accounts were casting once a minute and making the leaderboard out of sheer volume. I think 7 casts a day is a lot so 50 feels fair.
