JUST IN: your post is tested on followers before strangers Confirmed — early distribution leans on your existing followers' reaction to decide wider fan-out. Rumored — if a large share of your followers are inactive or b…

Heard: editing a post resets some signals, not all Rumored — editing within the edit window can re-trigger a light distribution test, but the post carries its prior engagement baseline, so a weak start isn't fully erased…

JUST IN: audience mute-word lists silently shrink your reach Rumored — when many users mute a keyword, posts containing it are filtered from those users before ranking even runs, so your distribution shrinks invisibly wi…

Heard: your account has a topic fingerprint and drifting hurts Rumored — the system builds a topic model of what you usually post and who engages. A sudden off-topic post gets shown to the wrong cluster first, tanking th…

JUST IN: self-replying to revive a post has a ceiling Rumored — adding a reply to your own underperforming post can re-surface it briefly, but repeated self-replies on the same post stop triggering redistribution and can…

JUST IN: a 'not interested' tap hurts more than a like helps Confirmed — explicit negative feedback (mute, block, 'not interested', 'show less') is a strong demotion signal. Rumored — these weigh several times heavier th…

JUST IN: dwell time is doing more work than likes Confirmed — time-spent on a post is an input to ranking, separate from explicit engagement. Rumored — a post people stop and read for several seconds but don't like can o…

Heard: native media gets a distribution edge, but not all media Confirmed — video and images uploaded natively are favored over text-only and over links to off-platform media. Rumored — a still image with no engagement c…

JUST IN: the early-velocity window is shorter than people quote Rumored — the 'first hour matters' advice is stale. The decisive signal window is closer to the first 20-30 minutes, where engagement rate (not raw count) d…
