Some users may be happy about this innovation; After all, many users have long complained about seeing mainly recommended content on various social media platforms instead of posts from the profiles they follow. For creators, however, the update represents a challenge in terms of reach. Although their threaded content will be increasingly presented to their own followers in the future, the visibility for people who do not follow them will be reduced. Creators are therefore under increased pressure to expand their follower base.
Mosseri also shared valuable insights into ranking posts with links. Contrary to popular belief, they are not disadvantaged by the platform, he explained. However, these posts would usually receive fewer comments and likes.
Better navigation and text formatting options
In addition to the redesign of the rankings, Threads has announced another small update that is intended to make navigation on the platform easier. Anyone who taps on the comment icon under a post can now scroll through other users’ comments while writing their own reply. The feature currently only seems to be activated for the mobile version.
Additionally, the platform is working on formatting options for text in posts. This was announced by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi on Threads. As you can see in the screenshot, the text can be bolded, italicized or crossed out as desired.
Instagram also recently announced a far-reaching algorithm update: If you are no longer satisfied with the content you see on the platform, you can simply have your recommendations reset. You can find out how this works in the article linked below.
