🛠️ Content source priority & Smart Feeds v2 ☀️

The Customize Feed option "[big]Content source priority[/big]" has now been added.

You can slide this option towards:
[b]• More from Groups
• More from Users[/b]

to affect where most of your feed content is coming from.


A configuration like this one (below), may in the interim, provide you with a feed that is a bit closer to the previous "Following" feed:


(The current options are still far from perfect.
Still being worked on and improved, as we continue to receive more feedback.)

[big]Smart Feeds v2[/big]

Possibly more importantly, we are looking into a Smart Feeds (Customize) v2, which will revamp the set of Customization Options available, and how they affect your feed.

At present, there is a lot going on with the options, where most of the slider settings shift priority of content from one source to the other.


We are looking into a possible change to this, which may be more understandable and easier for users to operate, and also, provide you with more refined control of your feed content.


[b][u]The current Customize Feed options:[/u][/b]




[b][u]Customize Feed v2:[/u][/b] [i](currently under consideration / planning)[/i]


With the v2, there will be more direct control of each source of content, that appears in your Feeds.

[i][u]For example[/u][/i]:
A user can use the settings:

[b]"Users you Follow" to Maximum[/b]
and
[b]All other options to Minimum[/b]

to essentially get a [b]close replica of the previous "Following" Feed[/b].

As this will Maximize "Following" as the source of your content,
while Minimizing or Erasing the other sources from appearing in your feed.



Conversely, if if a user prefers to see [b]"All Users", similar to the previous Default/Global feed[/b],
they could use the settings:

[b]"Other Users" to Maximum[/b]
and
[b]All other options to Minimum[/b]

to get a feed that is mostly Globalized, and NOT specific to your Following, Subscribed Groups, Relevant Users/Groups.

Do feel free to let us know, if you believe the "Smart Feed v2" may provide you with better understanding and control of your SW Feed.

Thanks and kind regards!

I understood in some why you made and will keep the changes and it seems like we can customize our feed better to our preferences in the future. That sounds good. I'll wait and see how it will work when everything is fixed.
