Support Explore/Trends

[soudk]

Wouldn't it be cool to have a trending page in the sidebar to see what hashtags are trending on local timelines, maybe with a toggle to view trends across Mastodon?

I think Fedilab has this but I'm not sure if it works.

There finally is a trends API, based on the instance you're on that gives you this.
Maybe it can be implemented in the search tab like in the web app?

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/instance/trends/

e.g. https://>instance>/api/v1/trends/statuses

[guerda]

The status trends (called "Explore" in the UI) is behind the instance trends API. It seems to return a simple list of toots, like the search API in the element statuses.
Unfortunately, it's not yet documented on docs.joinmastodon.org (see mastodon/documentation#947 for more information).

Here's an example for the statuses result:

It's documented now, https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/trends/

https://mastodon.social/@stonedonkey/109526221538025375 is an request from a user for this feature.

[nikclayton]

Going to start working on implementing trending statuses and trending links.
