The Community shelf

[EtherealWitch]

they also help your story ranking, that results in your story being easily found by new readers and therefore gaining popularity

@Melani3

Story ranks will still be determined by the number of reads a story gets, but will now also factor in gems spent in a story. Stories without gem choices will still be able to trend high in the ranks and this will not fundamentally change the way rank is calculated.

@asteria.episode

i once read somewhere that you have to have diamond choices to end up on the community shelf and i’m just wondering wether this is true?

while this is not true, it is true that you have a greater chance to get on a shelf if your story is more popular (i think)
