Not so much random, as secret. Flickr keeps the exact algorithm for determining interestingness secret, so that people can't "game" the system. It definitely involves number of views / comments in a short time period, however.
The best way to get your photos explored, is to have really good photos, send them to groups, have lots of contacts who will see your photos, and comment on others (so that they will also come see your photos). In other words -- be a good photographer, and be active on flickr.
