Currently, Threads limits the number of trending topics displayed to five at a time, which helps maintain a focused list and avoids some of the pitfalls that have affected similar features on other platforms. It seems possible. Engadget reports that Meta has also said in the past that to maintain a safe environment on Threads, it leverages “content experts” to ensure trending topics comply with safety guidelines. I am.
Adding trends is an important step for Threads. Previously, users primarily discovered content through their personal feeds or the recently introduced “Tags” feature. The “Trending Now” feature helps break that bubble by giving you a way to connect with others on a broader range of topics.
Many believe that including breaking news is an important feature for an app aimed at competing with X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms. It remains to be seen whether the introduction and use of trending topics will shift the platform's focus to news reporting.
