Curious how the Near You feed's algorithm works? Let's talk. It was important that large accounts didn't dominate. This scoring factor adjusts for follower count, meaning smaller accounts benefit disproportionately from above average engagement! Post quality > post author

yeaaah, the free api with polygonal boundaries is brilliant but... we coded user avatars to be randomized anywhere inside a city and well, you look at seattle. unless we fork over $$$ for a paid api we're calling this an inclusivity feature
map of seattle and surrounding cities with boundaries overlayed, with user avatars too. this is from the app atls.city
