I know, I know, stupid algorithm, but for the last few weeks, it seems that it's been even worse than usual. When I go to my feed, I have the same posts appearing in the top few slots for 2-3 days. I've never had the algorithm keep prioritizing older posts over newer posts for days. Just wondered if I'm the only one this is happening to. I mostly follow craft people/companies so I thought it might help to ask other crafty people about this.

I have had the same thing happening. Glad to know it's not just mine. I mostly follow crafty people, too.

If it is crafty people, I am sure it is a something put in by the IG gods so that we won't be tempted to buy anything for a while.  |

All I'm seeing are reels lately and I'm getting sick of seeing them.

Yes, even after I "like" something, it's still there. I liked you, now go away!
My own account since the beginning of the month is getting 0-1 likes (average is 7) no matter what, when, or how I post. It is frustrating. The algorithm is stupid.
Reels make my eyes hurt and I HATE that they have music, I had to mute my phone so I don't have a heart attack while scrolling.

It seems like videos are preferred over photos on Instagram lately. That's why I haven't been checking often. Sometimes, I will go to the list of people I'm following and look through instagram that way. It is annoying though.

IG is trying to stay relevant with the younger crowd and compete with TikTok. 😆 |
