That has happened to me with several of my posts, one (I think from the7days) even got the top spot for a while lol

daaaym! that's cool! but also sad that all the thriving living breathing communities that used to live here...don't. :(

The first time it happened I was so thrilled, but I had the same thought process :/
It heavily depends on the community's social rating though. Some posts on ohnotheydidnt get into the top 25 with just three comments.

yeah I'm 90% sure they count clicks more than comments. which makes me happy because it means at least people saw my icons even if they didn't leave a comment.

That's a great way of looking at it! ;)
