Your feed is now powered by an improved algorithm. Instead of showing posts strictly in order, the latest update blends several factors to make what you see more relevant.

The algorithm now balances:

• Topic relevance: how closely a post matches your interests (make sure to follow topics you are interested in)

• Engagement: how much activity or conversation it’s getting

• Recency: how new the content is

• Quality: how complete and well-put-together the post is

It’s still fresh — just smarter.

We know this is a big change from the usual - If you have any feedback, please let us know in the comments below or send us a message at support@onmantel.zendesk.com. We are all ears.

We’ve partnered with @tradible to give away a free Elite Pack — with pulls worth up to $2,000.
