The people I most want to see often don't appear in my feed anymore. There needs to be a way for us to suggest "more of this person." And for anyone who wants to claim this is a purely chronological sorting of people I follow—it absolutely isn't. Some people are being completely filtered out.

The functionality simply doesn't do what it says on the tin 😕

Algorithm needs to prioritize stand alone posts over re-skeets.
Which, if you follow 5k people, probably is admittedly a lot of them.
Algorithms are the problem in social media.
It is a tedious chore, but beats the algorithm.

You are currently following upwards of 5,000 people.... that is going to be a factor, even if you interact w/ @prisonculture.bsky.social on the daily, it is going to be like trying to have a conversation in the stadium at a World Cup match with Brazil scoring a goal.
At the same time...
I'd settle for being able to create private feeds of groups of people I follow, like Besties; MVPs; VIPs; News; All the Rest. Must be private though.
I have no idea why
When I use my Following feed, I see lots of “reposted,” posts that I would love to see in my Discover feed.
It helps a bit.
(For others who are new, it’s only visible in the feed, not in individual posts.)
For people you want to see more of, what I do is put them on a personal list, so I don't have to scroll through my 'following' feed to see specific people.
Fred posts at 3:00.
Joe posts at 3:30.
Someone replies to Fred at 4.
You will see Fred's 3:00 post (w/reply) ahead of Joe's 3:30 post.
Not sure I'm explaining this well.
If you most often want to see individual specific people, you need to follow fewer other ones.
And no way to mute topics? At least I haven’t figured it out, yet
- using the following feed with reposts/quotes/replies on
- following too many accounts or a handful of accounts that post frequently
- are using the discover feed (esp if seeing ppl you don't follow...)
But under “Following” this option is not available.
Makes sense in one way - we chose to follow the poster.
BUT - what if Ilike certain posts someone creates, but not others?

Otherwise, why bother following at all?
