What is the difference between "Popular" and "Upcoming"?

All submissions start out in the “Upcoming” section for users of the
Gnommie community and the general public to discover. The “Popular” tab on Gnommie, also referred to as Gnommie homepage, shows the submissions that have received the most interest from users.

Diversity is the key to getting a submission promoted to “Popular”. Gnommie uses a sophisticated algorithm that takes into account the number of votes, views, shares, comments and several other factors to determine its relative ranking.

How is this done? By submitting, sharing, commenting on and voting for or against articles, videos, images and other content that users like or don’t like, Gnommie users can influence the flow of incoming content that make it to the Gnommie homepage.
