I think splitting the post into sections dedicated to specific metrics might help. You could keep WIP metrics live but as different sections. For example...
Top N By...
Growth Percentage: ... ... ...
Absolute Number of New Subscribers: <eg. trendingcommunites +5000 new subscribers> ... ... ...
Trending Formula (WIP) (Link to post detailing formula): ... ... ...
Etc.
I think that grabbing the easy metrics and offering them up initially will be more beneficial to growing your own subscriber count than trying to work out a clever way to do just the one thing.
Love the idea though, I've posted about this community in a couple places and I'm thrilled to see that it's taking off a bit. Great job!
Thank you - for your support as well for for your suggestions.
I'm realising that, given the raw data, there's more I could be doing with it, both in terms of how accurate the results are, as well as how they are displayed.
Now that I've got a few days worth, I'll work on smoothing the daily bumps, to help distinguish between a genuine trend and incidental hiccup.
After that, I'll look into breaking things up - using different formulas to show different things (e.g. at the moment it's probably impossible for a 30k subscriber count Community to ever show up here). There's such a wide deviation in the data that it likely calls for it.
