Sharing an amusing experience I had recently, in case it helps with UX improvement. I plan to delete this cast once the issue (raised by others too) gets acknowledged in some way. I often see “User A” in my Home feed. I don’t follow them. Content isn’t spammy or offensive - just not my preference. I figured not interacting would signal disinterest to the algorithm, but "User A" shows up a lot. The other day, their cast was the first one in my Home feed. I finally decided to tap “Show fewer like this” and refreshed the feed. A different cast from this user showed up as the first one in my Home feed, again. I tapped "Shower fewer like this" again. Refreshed again. Yet another cast from the same user was the first in my Home feed (third time in a row!). This time I gave up, accepted the algorithm's sense of humor, and decided to keep scrolling. But this third cast was a very short video. The audio glitched and kept playing even as I scrolled. I switched to the Following tab, Trending tab, navigated to channels. The audio kept playing on a loop (agh). So I ended up force-quitting the app. I still see casts from this user. I'm aware the other tool available is mute, but haven't used it yet. Muting feels too blunt. I don’t want to avoid DCs from this individual. I just want my Home feed to closer resemble my preferences. Two things would be very appreciated: 1) Clarification on how the current controls work (most immediate need) 2) A middle ground between "mute" and "show more of this" (not urgent for my experience but a nice to have) This is not a judgment on any content here. I know my content is not everyone's cup of tea. I really wouldn’t want anyone stuck seeing it at the top of their feed after expressing repeatedly they don't want it. I appreciate anyone reading this. Long live Farcaster.

Haha so weird. In my case I use the following tab by default, it solves most of this algorithmic nonsense.

Might have to do that. But I still like the Home feed for discovery. I'm still relatively new and there are so many people I don't know yet.
