  • Patent number: 10860589
    Abstract: To maintain user interest, the social networking system determines whether a particular user is interested in posting original broadcast feed stories to the social networking system during a session. Specifically, the social networking system determines a likelihood of a user posting an original broadcast feed story during the session. If the likelihood of the user posting an original broadcast feed story is above a threshold, the social networking system may encourage the user to post an original broadcast feed story by displaying original broadcast feed stories posted by other users to the user in a feed provided to the user. Specifically, the feed may contain more original broadcast feed stories posted by other users or the original broadcast feed stories posted by other users may be ranked higher in the feed than a feed provided to the user if the likelihood was below the threshold.

  • Patent number: 10572536
    Abstract: A social networking system provides feed to users in response to requests from users. The feed includes feed stories that include one or more of text, image, or videos. The social networking system generates a feed in which the number of video feed stories is determined based on the video feed story rate determined for each specific request. The social networking system determines the video feed story rate based on various features including features describing the request, for example, the time of the day that the request is received. The social networking system may include other features for determining the video feed story rate, for example, user specific features describing the user that sent the request. The social networking system sends the generated feed to the client device of the target user.
