# How Do Trending, Top, and Discovery Work on LBRY?
As of the [LBRY Erikson Release](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/releases/tag/v0.34.0), the LBRY desktop app and web app support dynamic trending and top views based on your interests and the channels you follow. This article explains how these features work.

This article explains how these features work. **Please note: Your list of followed tags does not currently sync between devices and may be lost if cache/data is cleared.**
### How Do I Use It?
At the top of your Home area, you can toggle between Trending, Top, and New for either your interests (tags you follow), your channels, or the whole network. When Top is selected, you can also choose the relevant time frame. You can also browse these same options for specific tags by clicking on the tag name anywhere on the screen or by searching for one.

### How Is This Different From YouTube?
YouTube uses obscured, secret algorithms that are designed to be biased in favor of the mainstream media and other creators they prefer rather than being neutral to all content ([See Veritasium's take on this](https://beta.lbry.tv/my-video-went-viral-here-s-why/)).

LBRY creates open-source code that allows all of the world to see precisely how our features work, and help to write articles like this one that spell it out in plain language.
