How would the random users be selected?

[eddiejaoude]

What do you mean? It will be selected at random from the list of users in the database

[thevinitgupta]

I wanted to know if the selection will be completely random or any fixed algorithm to select.

[eddiejaoude]

Let's keep it simple and make it completely random

@eddiejaoude can we make a button to switch between popular/featured profiles and random/new users by default we can show new/random users
also by this so we don't have to make a separate API call for just 2-3 user :)

[eddiejaoude]

I think as we have small cards, having 2 sections on a single page would be better for now - the API calls are done on the server side I think

[eddiejaoude]

@ManishBisht777 there is still only 1 API call, as the end point is now discover not popular, so it will return all the required data 👍

@ManishBisht777 there is still only 1 API call, as the end point is now discover not popular, so it will return all the required data +1

That's nice
