Following vs For You

  • Following — only people you follow, newest first. Predictable.
  • For You — ranked by what you read and engage with.
You're in control
  • The How your feed is ranked card explains it in plain English; Got it dismisses it.
  • Hide a post you don't want more of, or reset everything Shiijak has learned in Settings.
  • A New posts pill appears when fresh posts arrive — you choose when to jump.
