1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, from a client device of a requesting user of a social networking system, a request for a content item associated with a comment representing information provided by a user of the social networking system, the comment having a plurality of replies to the comment by users of the social networking system; calculating, for each of the plurality of replies, an interest score representing a measure of the requesting user's interest in the reply; selecting a subset of replies from the plurality of replies based on the interest scores; determining an order to present the subset of replies based on the interest scores calculated for the subset of replies; transmitting instructions to the client device to present the comment and to present the selected subset of replies in the determined order and in association with the comment; and responsive to receiving a request from the requesting user to view the plurality of replies, transmitting an instruction to the client device to present the plurality of replies in a chronological order based on a time associated with each of the plurality of replies.
