Anyone else noticed this with NEW users

I have noticed that NEW users are not able to see all of the users on SW when they open their account. I am not sure why they are doing this.

When my friend started a new account I could see her but she couldn’t not interact with me.

I submitted a ticket and they told me this.

I have noticed this happening again with NEW accounts. All the legacy accounts (no NEW tag) can see the NEW accounts and we can comment on the posts but NEW accounts can’t see all of us.

I found this statement in regards to an algorithm in place to restrict contact between users.

I believe that they are doing this for NEW accounts. I have asked in another ticket but I was ignored.

Once the NEW tag is lifted that restriction seems to go away.

Now click on this post and tell me if you see my reply here because I posted the same thing on this post but no one can see it.

Some other users are having the same issue too.

@SW-User I can’t interact with that new user but I can’t interact with other new users.

I haven’t been able to figure out how that algorithm works in deciding about who the NEW accounts get to interact with.

@SW-User they are restricting new people from seeing everyone here.

@SW-User I haven’t figured that out because I have noticed it happening to all of us and we don’t realize it.

I look at a thread of a NEW user and see replies with no interaction and that’s because those people are not “seen” on that thread.
