Thanks to an idea from scmb1 and JTxt, and some work done by paulmedwal (creator of clutter), the newest projects row now displays a random selection of recently shared projects each time the homepage is loaded.
why does it have to be random?
can't it be that it shows the most recently uploaded projects, instead of a random selection from new onesThat's what it was like before - Not all projects got on the newest projects, so they had to change it to this.
not that it shows the newest every five minutes, but each time you refresh, it shows the 3 that were most recently uploaded, even if you refresh 5 times a minute

The Scratch website servers only have a limited amount of processing power - refreshing the newest project list every time a project is uploaded would take an awful lot of power.

Yep, and now the same thing happens with Design Studio projects.
Yes!! I'm so glad you did this for design studio! i think it would be nice to have the other rows like this but i'm not sure how many others would agree... and the people who get on those rows a lot probably wouldn't like that.... it could choose from like the top 10-20 or something

How long is "new project" defined as? Is it an hour, or a day, or is it something else?

I've been told it's a random selection of the latest 20 projects uploaded.

Yes, that would be awesome!!! Many more people would get on the front page that way.
Actually, that was scmb1's original idea.

yeah i noticed that. i refreshed the page and there were new projects, and then i did it again immediately, and there were new projects, and I kept on reloading the page and the new projects kept switching, and at first I was like, "Scratch is getting a lot of projects" and then I thought, "hmm" lol.
i heard that this year so far, projects were posted every 35 secs on average, so it might have been 'Scratch is getting a lot of projects'

i am against the idea of having the 'what the community is...' show random projects. it would make it harder to have milestones, like:
Date; 1st top loved
Date; 2nd top viewed
Date; 1st top viewed
i like it for newest and design studio, but if you want more random stuff, just vote here.

It twas. I'm really happy that it's been implemented in Newest Projects and Design Studio, but the others would be awesome too . Anyway, here's a link to my original suggestion, if anyone's interested.

Couldn't he have posted this himself?

oh dear it seems someone has already figured out how to abuse this someone with... quite a few usernames posted a project under mulitiple usernames and about every third time or so the project comes up... maybe it could be modified so that projects with the same name don't come up together at the same time?
Are you sure that what you are seeing is abuse? When we see giant streams of projects that look the same but are shared by different accounts, the culprit is usually a school / classroom.
Even if it is someone trying to get their project viewed by sharing it to a lot of accounts - there's really not much advantage to this. Each project will only get a few views / love its / comments, and it's not likely to add up to much. And of course when we discover people attempting to game the homepage, we block them for going against the Terms of Use.
I agree with Lightnin.
