Warpcast

Update on Warpcast home feeds

Based on feedback, we've:

- Turned off recommendations (since a lot of them were spammy rn)
- Turned off replies + reply bumping
- Tweaked the algo to de-dupe recasts

Please let me know if things are better or worse!

Wow, that made a very significant difference! 🙏

reply guys

@tervo lmk if this breaks the meta, can think about the best way to serve both

rip to /replyguys but this should dramatically improve things 🤞

Feed is way better now. Was just about to cast “something changed”. 

Thanks.

feed is definitely calmer but i can't help but feel like i'm missing a lot of stuff from the ppl i follow now (⌒_⌒;) not sure what the balance would be. maybe replies on but able to mute loud/irrelevant-to-me channels that my follows may participate in

It’s very short now… i constantly hit the end of it. 😞 

Also I noticed I cannot boost anymore in a channel. Replaced by pin? Same meaning?

The alternative is a pure algorithmic feed.

Much easier to start with a feed of people who represent the best of the network and unfollow.

We tested both and auto-follow users stay around at a much higher rate. (People are lazy and don't follow enough people.)

Invited 3 people today all joined but are not happy with the fact that they were automatically following ~70 accounts upon sinning up

We previously took a recent reply from someone you follow and bumped the old cast + reply as a conversation unit back to the top of your feed.

We will like bring this back but in a smarter way (based on the people you most interact with).

Good changes.

What will direct us to new content if it isn’t recommendations? I don’t mind a bit of “you might enjoy …” type of algorithm posts

My feed is now just @polluterofminds, so absolutely better!?!
