Custom ranking is an SDK-only surface. The UIKit renders the chronological global feed on every platform — see the Feature Matrix. To ship a ranked feed with the UIKit, query
getCustomRankingGlobalFeed() yourself and render the results with your own list.How ranking orders posts
Chronological ordering treats every post the same, whether or not anyone engaged with it. Custom ranking sorts on a score built from meaningful interactions, so a post people comment on and react to outranks a post that is merely newer.
Scores are recalculated on every query, so pagination results can shift while users interact with the content.
Parameters
Treat custom-ranking behavior as backend-owned. Do not hardcode ranking assumptions in client UI logic.
