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 āUser Aā in my Home feed. I donāt follow them. Content isnāt 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 āShow fewer like thisā 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 donāt 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 wouldnāt 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.

I wonder if this is the same person @kaloh brought up earlier because Iāve been experiencing receiving content from this person even though Iāve hit āshow fewer like thisā every time. Either that function is phantom or this person is impervious to it. I guess I can mute, but idk, it seems like too aggressive of an action. Nothing against the person at allā¦just have no interest in their stuff

Possibly - from what Iām reading many of us are seeing the same user repeatedly. I couldnāt find Kalohās cast. Do you have a link to it?

Meh, Iād rather not out them directly, but Iām like 99% sure weāre talking about the same person š¤£ At first I thought it was just my feed, but it looks like many (maybe all?) have the same gripe about being served their content despite our best efforts to attenuate it short of resorting to a mute/block. I donāt knowā¦maybe we all need to collectively block (not mute) to signal to the algorithm we donāt want this anymore (nothing personal at all against the person, but it seems like we have to take it in our own hands at this point).

Most likely we are š. Hilarious situation all around when you think about it. Itās been good to politely commiserate on the feed and realize we arenāt the only ones wondering whatās going on.
