Improving SEO rankings of markets for better information distribution to the wider web

Manifold has just launched a new homepage designed to make it easier to browse relevant markets across a variety of categories.

What can we do to improve the design or user experience of the homepage?

I will resolve this market by choosing the most helpful 1-5 answers one week from now, weighted by my subjective sense of helpfulness/impactfulness. I value precise and explicit suggestions ("change the font to X") over more general and vague suggestions, even if correct ("improve the font").

Improve daily movers

bought Ṁ30

If you've bet within the last 24 hours, instead of looking at default parameters, look to see if market has moved a significant % since ur last trade on it (compare live prob to prob ur trade moved the prob to).

@LudwigBald FYI u can disable notifications for daily loans in the settings tab on the notification page.

@Yev ah, got it - no problem if it's disqualified then

answered

@AndyMartin That's exactly my point. It's a global feature that affects the entire site, not just the new home page.

@SneakySly +1, ideally once you "hide"/"mark as not interested" a market, it would not show up in any context (home page, search, marking listing page for a group, etc)

answered

Sort groups automatically by recent activity

@SG What do you all think about this one? Do you like being able to manually arrange groups on the homepage? Or would you prefer it to be automatic?

answered

@Yev It should be something you can do from the homepage, similar to hiding groups.

Add a way to remove a group from the home page without unfollowing it

Also I don't want to have my closed groups (where I'm the owner and the only member) on the home page, but if I unfollow them I won't be able to add markets to them.
