Every Now & Then

My feed will become super stale.
Same names.
Same posts.
Same people replying.

I can hit NEW.
I can click TOP.
Not much changes and some things stay for days upon days in the NEW and TOP sections that were supposedly designed so we could see more and interesting things.

But sometimes the algorithm is just too much and I start to feel isolated and boxed into a bubble.

Personally I think this site should do away with any algorithm that goes outside of our favorites or follows. Sort of how EP used to operate…

Anyways, if this happens to you, maybe you can make use of a tactic I’ve employed from time to time?

I LOG OUT!
Yup, I Log Out.

And then I click the BROWSE icon !

I end up seeing people and posts that I never see. When I first noticed it, I was a little taken aback by the number of posts I had a mind to reply on but couldn’t because I was logged out.

So what I did was whenever I was going to do it, I kept a paper and pen beside me and made note of the usernames that interested me.

Anyways, I saw a couple of posts this past week that made me think this would be a good tip to share with people that somehow ended up stuck with me inside their algorithm, think things get stale, or both.

As Always,
Be well
Live happy
Keep trying,
Rob
