  • Patent number: 10680992
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to subscribe a subscriber to a content item appearing at a first position in a news feed of content items based on selection of a setting to subscribe to the content item. A pop up window including a response associated with the content item on a user interface displayed by a computing device associated with the subscriber is presented to the subscriber based on posting of the response. Scrolling of the news feed in response to user inputs is concurrently presented on the user interface while the pop up window is presented.

  • Publication number: 20160164985
    Abstract: A social networking system maintains various content items with one or more content items associated with comments provided by social networking system users. When a user requests a content item associated with one or more comments, the social networking system determines likelihoods of the user performing a type of interaction with the one or more comments based on characteristics of the comments. For example, the social networking system determines likelihoods of the user requesting to view one or more of the comments. Based on the determined likelihoods, the social networking system generates an instruction describing presentation of comments. The instruction may identify a set of comments for presentation along with the content item that are selected based on the determined likelihoods.
