Original Abstract Submitted

in a graphical user interface (gui) for a social media platform, social media content is surfaced with variable visual attributes based on activity metrics. in a gui for a social media platform, where the gui provides access to posted social media items, an activity metric is determined for the underlying social media activity associated with each of multiple collections of social media items. the gui displays user-selectable interface elements, such as icons, corresponding to these collections, with each icon having a visual attribute that varies depending on the activity metric. this results in visual differences between collection icons based on differences in their corresponding activity metrics.
