I have the same experience with Instagram. It used to show me interesting stuff, now it shows me interesting stuff from a few days ago. And a few days from right now, it will show me the interesting stuff that was posted right now. No amount of checking Instagram seems to make the delay go away. Every time I log in, the top of my feed is from 2 days ago. And I scroll for miles and still seeing days-old content that I didn't see days ago.
- delecti 9y agoScroll until you see the first thing you saw the last time you checked the app. Do that every time you open the app and you'll never see things from before the last time you checked. It's absurd that it's necessary, but it works 100% of the time for me since they moved to non-chronological sorting.
- adjkant 9y agoSo THAT is how they artificially increase their DAU and use time - make the user experience only tolerable if you essentially have to use the app daily and be constantly updated.
- delecti 9y agoSure, but there's a certain amount of sense in that the fix for "I want to see everything posted by the people I follow" is "go look at everything posted by the people you follow".
- PorkBoneSoup 9y agoI'm using it far less as it keeps showing me stuff I don't care about from 5 or so days ago instead of linear timeline. It annoys me because no one ever asked for non-chronological & there's no setting to change it. Instead it shows you stuff it ‘thinks’ you want to see but so far it has been way off the mark for me. And I've missed local bar promos as a result. I'll give it credit though; it has encouraged me to unfollow a large amount of people it kept showing me repeats of. I definitely feel less urge to engage on Instagram now than I used to as well.
