Popular favorites results expansion

April 27, 2008 9:45 PM

Popular favorites (of all-time) is, well, one of my favorites. Is there a way to see even more posts that were favorited than are returned to the single result page?

You can download the results of this Data Playground query to page through every favorited post to the blue ever, ordered by number of favorites. Tweaks can get you posts on other subsites, as well as comments.

Thanks! I have already found some rabbit trails that look promising...

It seems to not allow for sorting comments by favorites. This makes me sad.

Also, I see that Mefi has a taste for long lists of freebies...

Oh, hoom. Constructing a nice query to pull favorite comments would be more work, yeah. I'm more a bumbling SQL apprentice than anything; maybe a wizard will come along and do some magic with the query field there.

Top 50 favorited comments, as of the last dump. (Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player.)

This seems to be out of date. I have a recent fpp with 110 favorites that doesn't seem to be listed.

I DEMAND EGO SATISFACTION.

Pretty sure the info has only been dumped a coupla few times, so anything that happens after the most recent dump isn't available for datamining. Prod cortex for your ego satisfaction.
