We heard you!

We removed suggested posts and the "You're All Caught Up!" screen from home timelines. #pixelfed

@gmate8 We might bring it back as an opt-in feature. It was a mistake to make it opt-out.

@pixelfed I liked the idea but it had 2 flaws:

- Most if the time it was lying: there were new post that I never saw below it
- When I click on it to unfold hidden posts, it would refresh the timeline, sending me back to the top, so I had to scroll scroll scroll back down to see the new content.

@pixelfed yeah my main issue with it was that I want my home timeline to show only stuff that I purposely followed.

If I wanted to discover new content, I'd go to the discover page.

Instagram added that feature to keep users cycling through endless posts for continued "engagement"

Really designed to keep us glued to the platform.
