Feed controls
Four presets, ten sliders, and up to twelve standing rules written in plain English.
Everything here lives in Settings, then Feed. Changes apply to the next refresh; nothing needs saving separately.
Presets
Four presets move every slider at once and are the fastest way to get close.
- Balanced
- The default mix.
- Latest
- Heavily weighted to recency.
- Hidden gems
- Favours good posts that have not travelled far.
- Your Circle
- Leans on people you actually know, with a boost to your own network.
Feed Balance
Three sliders for the overall shape of the feed. These map directly onto the scoring weights described in How ranking works.
| Slider | One end | Other end |
|---|---|---|
| What counts most | Conversation | Likes and reposts |
| How recent | Top posts | Just posted |
| Popularity | Hidden gems | Trending |
Content Vibes
Seven sliders for the flavour of what arrives, rather than its popularity.
| Slider | One end | Other end |
|---|---|---|
| Sentiment | Critical | Positive |
| Depth | Casual | In-depth |
| Controversy | Chill | Spicy |
| Political lean | Progressive | Conservative |
| Substance | Fun | Informative |
| Novelty | Familiar | Surprising |
| Discovery | My people | Explore |
Feed rules
Rules are standing instructions in plain language, such as "less politics" or "more from people i know". You can keep up to twelve at a time, each up to 120 characters. Every rule is listed, and each can be switched off without deleting it.
Auto-tune
Feed Auto-Tune, in Settings, then Surf Vision, lets the feed learn from what you actually read and watch rather than only from what you tapped. It is a toggle, it can be turned off, and anything you set by hand outranks it.
Starting over
Reset Algorithm, at the bottom of the advanced settings, clears your personalization data and returns the feed to its defaults.
