What do the colors of the topic numbers mean?

At the right of each topic is listed a number, which is clearly the number of posts. Sometimes those numbers are colored red or brown or grey, but usually they are white. I can’t figure out what it means. Probably not too important but … anyone know?

I dont remember this being covered as part of the site training thing and I’m curious as well.

If they have a big green circle around them, there are new posts in the topic. But some i looked at that had orange numbers i thought were new or that there was still an unread post in the topic. It wasn’t related to following threads either because some i follow are orange and others aren’t.

Interested to get some understanding!

i don’t have the specifics - but it’s algorithm based

the colors highlight threads that have a higher ratio of likes/views, or a higher amount of views.

The settings page for controlling it is about 3 pages long

That’s good enough for me.
