Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving comments associated with a content object on a social-networking system, determining a score for each of the comments, where the score is based on one or more signals associated with the comment, the signals are related to one or more audience interactions with the comment, and each of the audience interactions includes an interaction by a respective audience member with the comment. The method further includes ordering the comments based on the respective scores, and presenting the ordered comments to a target user. Each of the audience interactions may include one or more responses to the audience interaction by an author of the comment. The signals may be based on existence of an edge between a user node representing the audience member and a user node representing an author of the comment in a social graph on the social-networking system.
