Why do you support? Asserting support, or lack thereof, doesn't contribute to the discussion: the ST is looking for conversation on each suggestion, not how many people support it.

bump because there was a dupe
maybe once this search bug is fixed

Why do you get so mad from people saying support clam down it's not that deep.

Bumping this topic because of a duplicate.

the fact that the other dupe was closed after 10 years

Bump because dupe

bump because dupe again

Lmbo I used to be cringe.

bumping

BUMP

Idk why people are bumping this but I'ma slip this here to help prevent further bumps:

Half of the OP suggestion is rejected:

7.11 “Recently Shared Projects” row on the front page
This proposed row on the front page would display projects that were most recently shared by Scratchers, in an attempt to help unnoticed Scratchers get more views. Such a feature existed in Scratch 1.4 and Scratch 2.0. It was removed for several reasons: the community did not find these projects interesting, the row would sometimes show inappropriate projects, and these new projects would often get disrespectful comments from other users.

Also the other half of what the OP is suggesting requires a whole algorithm to be made which would be too much to code and too much server power for a site that doesn't gain money through ads and only donations

Explain how Scratch has the server power for getting every trending/popular project in the Explore page.

It wouldn't be too much code. Just get the tags from projects you often play, and give more projects with those tags

What OP was suggesting was a custom page recommending projects per user not for everyone. That would require a system to retrieve all of the games the user have liked and favorites or played often like you said (so a system to store that play time per project as well) then take all of the tags from that plus many other projects then search ALL projects for those tags and recommending them to the user for EVERY user (there are thousands active a day btw). Thats a lot of server power

For the rejection part: How is that what the topic creator is suggesting? They are suggesting a recommendation system, not a system to show all the recently shared projects.

For the server power part: I would think the simplest (tag-based) implementation of this suggestion, would take as much power as a search engine or the Explore page.

They already have the hard part done, which is indexing; they just need to find random tags that are in the description of your projects and search them. If this might be too much energy, there probably is a way to make finding the random tags in your loved and favourited projects a highly optimized database query. After all, they have an entire Explore page (which I know is paused, but they probably will restore it soon).
