Congrats to you too!š
I had one story that did well and overall higher stats than usual. I read a lot, but did not respond or engage much. For all the responses on my own stories, I responded back a day into May. And started engaging with other writers too only from May 2nd-ish.
I think the criteria was, like you said, claps, views, reads, and responses. I had extra external traffic too, Iām not sure if that counted since they mentioned āmember engagementā several times.
