So few posts visible.....

For me it looks like the site has a dozen members at most. I liked the old system that showed posts in order or when replied to..now I can leave and 8 hours later return and it looks like it hasnt moved

Samesies here. It's super frustrating, especially when they keep adding more nonsense to the list of unwarranted updates. The least they could do is fix what was initially broken, and then move forward in adding more options. Better yet, simply quit adding more options. If something isn't broke to begin with, why change it?!

The feed is awful. It makes this place feel like a desert. A small "community" indeed.

The other day I did a test on my own feed. Counted how many posts it showed from the last hour. Showed 8 posts (which I think is more than it usually shows me). Figured there has to be more than that. Searched for posts with the word "the" since that is a common word in a lot of posts, and again counted how many posts the search showed from the last hour... 24 posts!

So yeah, this great, fantastic algorithm they have made seems to hide at least 2/3rds of posts from my feed, if not more.

I have not muted users or downvoted or done anything to indicate I don't want these posts in my feed. It's just SW pretending to know what I want to see. It's straight up made this place so much worse than it was.

Same here.
The feed is screwed up.
If I look at the feed now - 6 minutes, 11 minutes, 53 seconds, 14 minutes, 53 minutes, 40 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour, 37 minutes.....

On top of that "algorithm", people block each other left and right, make their posts private, only certain people get a lot of feedback on their threads, downvotes, etc.

Is it any wonder everyone's feed is getting more dull?

I do not start many threads because I figure they will get mostly ignored anyways. Yeah some of mine are really dumb and I do not expect to hear much on them but not all of them are dumb.

I have been here only two years now but yeah it does seem to get duller on here all the time.

Yep, it's crap. It's like a toy they play with and push all the wrong buttons.

Either that or a lot of folks have bailed on SW.

For the feed to work better i think there should be an option to filter above ai we could pick if we want to see friends posts or public posts. This way it's just a mess. Let's give them time. I dislike the feed entirely because of many steps we have to go through just to post a status. A tittles and all the thing you skip, it's just unnecessary.

Same here. Becoming difficult to get past the crap if honest.

I think it is actually because very few people actually write posts

There is literally 10 this hour

Mine is still messed up as well

Sowies, I just hardly post 😅😅

This hour I have 33 posts.

I've been calling the site "Same Words" in my head

The feed is terrible. I wish @Nuno & @Andrew would put it back to the way it was
