Oh lol, I didn't know I was trending on primal. It's not even got many likes or replies. I think you're right that, it's a timezone thing, nostr is v quiet at these hours. And primal will let any old rubbish go on trending lol
You can see what I mean from your own posts.
Why is this post trending https://primal.net/e/note1tzqpuza2pgmkq2ette3neah0wq96jx0ch4289lmdn5lpreasrf2s3xzakx
but much more interesting things you've posted, where the conversation was long and complex, haven't. Perhaps has something to do with the hour of the day you posted the note or the note simply being very short.
Discussion
Your piss post is trending on the primal 4-hour time span, now. Hilarious.
I guess they're proof that you can throw a lot of money at a project, but that won't guarantee it's any good.
All it takes is someone clever reading this thread and implementing such a solution in their own client, to steal their user base.
Really sexy would be a conversation heatmap, where you could see the intensity and scope of a discussion-cluster. Maybe even including replies to quoted notes, in addition to the original note and its replies.
A visual way of tracking "where the humans at".

How about them apples?
To prevent gaming the algorithm, you'd want filters to cut out notes below a certain length that are more likely to be bots (remember "Happy New Year"?).
It would be really cool to do a social graph visualization that shows which notes are seeing the most interaction.
Yes, I mention that in the other comment. Nothing short or too repetitive or similar. "GM" "Good morning" "Hi" "Yo" is all the same thing.
You would also want to filter out anything too reply-guy-ish. Sometimes discussions break out in GM threads, but sometimes it's just a string of GMs, so you'd filter out the second type.
Here is another example. This note shot up into the trends, but it has a flat structure and the original poster has never replied or written anything else. No human interaction, despite so many replies. We all just look silly.
