Ah can I post a screenshot of a part of this website showing that my post is in the Interesting Discussions? Help me out because I really don't know. I read the Terms of Use and the Community Guidelines and I did not find anything that prohibits me from doing it. (It's not allowed in the other site, by the way). If it's not allowed, just tell me and I'll take it down. I'm just overwhelmed by seeing my discussion to actually go there, because it's my first time to get featured here in MyLot. Actually there are two of them but the other one is in the bottom of the list. And I just want to say that it feels good, it actually gives me some momentarily happiness Thank you, MyLot!

It's not exactly a 'featured discussion' as Bubblews had. Everyone's 'Interesting Discussions' screen is likely to show a different selection because what you see depends on the tags which YOU have used in the past. Sorry to pop your bubble, and all that! MyLot don't mind if you post screenshots, by the way.

When I have a lot of time for MyLot and I have addressed all notifications, I look at the Interesting Discussions and read other posts.

@yalul070 besides the reason why i never check them because I don't want to expect my post to be there all the time

@Letranknight2015 I wasn't expecting either. That's why I was surprised to see my posts there. Little did I know that it was only because of the tags that I used. Naturally, I could have used these tags because I wrote about them before.

Congrats. I have had mine in the top discussions and hot discussons already. I was totally surprised too, but it wasn't something that I even tried for. I guess they are interesting enough to get there, and I am thankful to all those that have taken the time to respond to my discussions, as it makes me feel really good about that too.

It's a great feeling, isn't it? (Even if now I know the difference between interesting, top and hot discussions lol).

@yalul070 It does feel good, for sure. I don't think mine have ever been there before, and it never bothered me at all, that they weren't. I am just grateful that users will respond to my discussions. It lets me know that they do value my opionions.

It's not in the rules so it is not prohibited . Anyway , my posts got into those categories of discussions too , but i thought it was ordinary though to be there . Congratulations for making it there . I don't go to explore anymore though . I just simply interact .

I see someone has explained 'interesting' below. It still means others are seeing those discussions. I often go there looking for articles to read.

@yalul070 I think my 'interesting' posts would be different to other people's. But it does mean I use some of the same tags as you.

well according to the wise men who already responded to this discussion, myLot suggests discussion that might interest YOU based on the tags that you use. that's all about it, actually.

That's right tags are what brings the people. And people coming to post makes it popular. It's all about tags I guess.

I'm not sure how a given post makes the "Interesting Discussions" list. I do occasionally search out posts there.

From what other MyLotters are telling me the Interesting Discussions list is different for everybody and it's based on the tags you use in your own discussions. While you may have seen this discussion of yours in the Interesting Discussions list many others may not have seen it in this list at all. I am not sure if you can post screenshots of the site or not but doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with doing it in this case.
