It isn't random --- the ranking is a combo of
- newness of the post
- number of upvotes
- number of upvotes vs. downvotes
- number of comments
- size of the subreddit it is from (if you get 1000 votes on a tiny subreddit, you'll hit front page, but 1000 votes on /r/pics will not)
Last night one of the Boston threads from /r/news hit #1 on /r/all in literally 7 minutes. Fastest #1 I've ever seen.
