Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing system may access a plurality of content items shared by a plurality of first users on an online social network. The computing system may calculate a content score for each of content items shared by a first user on the online social network, where each content score is based at least in part on a proximity coefficient between a second user and the first user that shared the content item, where the proximity coefficient is a weighted combination of multiple subpart proximity coefficients over a period of time. The computing system may send, to a client device of the second user for display, one or more of the content items based at least in part on the calculated content scores.
