What's the point of the "history" link at the top of the page?

It really is "history repeating itself" since it's what I already see on the main posts.

To see what you viewed, replied to or posted.

If your post isn't popular by view counts it goes down rather quickly and just disappears off your feed no matter how you have set your feed. So go there instead of your profile if it's recent.

Made a post about truly disappearing posts, not your own, about three weeks ago. Now that happens for a different reason.

@DeWayfarer Thank you for the reply and explanation. I'm thinking it's another "feature" I probably won't waste my time on.
I haven't set my feed either. Interesting how some things and people never show and how that is preset for me. lol

@SW-User I personally go to the "Topics" menu items and just select one of the fourteen main categories.

My feed slow. I haven't followed a lot of people. Like more than 10 pages.

On the categories the first one has the most posts. The further up you go the less posts you see. So just stick with the highest category of those fourteen.

The second most popular is "politics & news" further down from the top.

Those two have the most posts in them.

@DeWayfarer Thank you. I'm not going to be around much and the popular stuff isn't really my thing. lol
I'll just "wing it" :)

@SW-User well I tired. It's often not good enough lately. 😞

@DeWayfarer I only wanted to know what the purpose of the link was for history.
I really don't spend enough time here to worry or care about ways to set things or search things.

@SW-User noticed. Not much on your profile. Understand that a preference though.

@DeWayfarer Yep. It's my second time here. Last time, too much information for a lot of people who are total strangers. A lot of the things on the profile aren't really necessary for an online site. :)

@SW-User or taking the other tac not enough. That's a preference as well. 😊
