Systems and methods for prioritizing digital user content within a graphical user interface

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for prioritizing digital user content in a graphical user interface may include (i) for each user account within a group of user accounts maintained by a social networking platform, (1) maintaining a user content pod, comprising a digital container for posts posted to the social networking platform by the user account, and (2) generating a scrollable pod display comprising visual representations of other user content pods being followed by the user account, (ii) receiving, from a first user account corresponding to a first user content pod, user input designating a post within the first user content pod as a broadcasted post, and (iii) in response to receiving the user input, prioritizing, within a scrollable pod display of a second user account, a visual representation of the first user content pod over visual representations of user content pods that do not contain broadcasted posts. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
