  • receiving, by the computer system, a post from a user for submission to a channel directed to a topic, wherein the channel corresponds to channel instances on different device components;

    determining, by the computer system, a stream flow value for the channel, wherein the stream flow value is based on a volume of posts associated with the channel;

    determining, by the computer system, a rating value associated with the user submitting the post;

    processing, by the computer system, the stream flow value and the rating value to generate a distribution value;

    determining, by the computer system, a set of the channel instances on which to make the post available, wherein the set of the channel instances comprises a first set of the channel instances responsive to the distribution value being a first distribution value, and wherein the set of the channel instances comprises a second set of the channel instances responsive to the distribution value being a second distribution value different than the first distribution value; and
