Reading this chart

Reddit's hot ranking weighs votes against the age of a post, so the front page turns over almost completely within a day. A post with a day count above one is rare and worth a look.

The world news tab behaves differently. Running live threads on a war, an election or a disaster can hold the top places for weeks, which makes it a steady read on which global stories still have attention.

Questions

Why does almost every Reddit post show as new?

Hot posts are scored partly on how recent they are, so yesterday's winners lose their place even if they keep collecting votes. A fully new chart each day is normal.

What are the posts in the world news tab?

They are the top posts in r/worldnews. Live threads, which collect updates on one ongoing story, often sit above single articles.

How do I open a post?

Each title links to a Reddit search for it. Titles are shown as posted, so the search usually lands on the thread first.
