Guide to customising your SW feed

Someone suggested I do a post on this... so here goes.

How to customise your feed. It's really easy....

First go to the home page of SW - click on Home in top left.

You can then click on Customize Feed[b]


Then you get the options below


These are my settings - I don't see everyone in my feed. Sorry everyone but a lot of people post stuff I've really got zero interest in. So I only see stuff from people in my circle or in groups I've joined. Hence why I have (maybe in some people's eyes) a lot in my circle, if I read a post and like what I read I'll click on your profile and add you so I can read more from you in the future. I have a lot of groups and regularly add - that's how I meet new people. If you're new and post in a group I'm interested in I'll read it.
Finally on my settings I don't have comments in my feed at all since I normally follow posts I've replied on and they appear in my notifications. I can always go to a post/question and desubscribe from notifications on that one post if it is filling up my notifications. I do that sometimes, it isn't that common for me.

Here's the interesting bit - these options will change depending on the combinations you go for.

E.G.


If you want comments in your feed you can adjust, to a degree, how many etc. you see. I've never really used that but if you like it - play with these controls to see what works best.

So that is how I sort my feed out. If, like me, you feel a lot on the full feed is just stuff you'd rather not see or have to scroll past try it out and see if this can help you.

I hate the settings here. I know for a fact half dozen of my friends post regularly but never show on my feed. Ive given up changing it. It doesnt keep me up to speed whatever i do.
But...thank you for trying....

@RubySoo if I was near you I'd offer to come and play with your buttons, but alas, I'm too far

This is very helpful. ⭐️ I did it once but felt like I might be missing out so I changed it back. That was over a year ago and SW is changing fast, so I might do that again.

Nice one. I close mine right down to my Circle when I'm working and open it out at the weekend. I love your Celebrity post crushes. You should be an admin although you might become too serious. We wouldn't want that

I'd never looked.ar this seriously.!

And have actually been culling my groups.

But the way you've explained it - it has value..... There is so many nebulous posts - I'm continially going🤦‍♀️

Thanks for posting this, I would have never paid Amy attention to it 👍
