The Trending view is powered by an algorithm that takes into account both replies and upvotes, so it does showcase the most active discussions. We have made adjustments to the algorithm during the beta period and will likely make further adjustments in the future. Be sure to let us know if you see active discussions that you feel should be better showcased in the Trending view, we'd love to see specific examples.
