How can we make the Grapevine feed better for you?

Hey folks, we want to make the Grapevine feed better for you.

What approach would you prefer we take?

Personalized content: Give you more of the kind of content you like
Popular content: Give you the trending/popular recent posts from all topics
Some other approach (in comments)

Don’t want to see same post in seperate category. A category revision would be a good idea. May be broader topic rather than explicit topics (software engineering, Product management etc).

Might help you to bring diverse audience rather the only 1.2cr LPA employees 😃

Popular content, but in some form of chronological order. I still hate when I see 'popular' tweets form 4 days ago appearing on my timeline before something that was posted 10 minutes ago.

Probably a hot take/ unpopular opinion but They ruinined twitter when they messed up the perfectly chronological timeline.

  1. Give a like and dislike button, dislike button with 3-4 reasons to choose from. You will get personalised data within no time, topic based that too.
  2. Take preferred and not preferred topics for a user. Or maybe rank preferences 1 to n. Show topics basis that. Let users change preferences anytime.
  3. Agree with @MalariaTrump, I also understand that as users grow, so will new content, thus creating space for lots of different popular posts on the feed, instead of the same popular ones.

Need more suggestions, can discuss 😀

Long press on a comment expand or minimise the comments thread. I really miss this something from a lot of third party apps for reddit.

Merge recent and popular.

Will think on this. Not easy to do. Specially because there’s a lot of posts in recent that are not that relevant to every body

Algo could be user static perhaps...mix remaining same for everyone. Or it could be user dependent- what all touch points he interacts with which can drive his feed

Android app is buggy. I see the same posts repeat when I scroll down.

I strongly feel personalization leads to echo chambers. Also this is well reported for Facebook family of apps that people tend to engage more with negative content. One of the things I love about 🍇🍷is it feels like it's community driven and community managed.

Good point. Seems like we should keep things the way it is but better

The best step would be to disallow posts that have searchable questions or lack context. Sounds like you could use a community manager. Oh wait...
