If you’ve recently seen a change on the LinkedIn app lately regarding engagement then there’s a very good reason behind that.
A lot of members have been reporting the visibility of posts arising from like-minded individuals on a routine basis while others spoke about seeing fewer alerts than before.
Whatever the case may be for you, one thing is for sure. The app is definitely switching things up a bit to better align its algorithm in a manner that alters how posts are seen by members, including how content is distributed on the feed too. Therefore, you’re most likely to see or engage with something that’s of your particular need or liking.
A recently held analysis by one expert on the app provided news on how the platform is displaying greater content from different Pages that users might be engaging the most with. Secondly, the app seems to be highlighting the use of hashtags more now than ever to ensure the right kinds of topics are seen by users. Thirdly, the figure for alerts from the app has been in decline for some actions. Last but not least, some content is getting greater over a period of time as compared to immediate attention after it was launched on the initial day.
Thanks to an update by the company itself, the reasoning behind all these changes was put at the forefront. The app says it wants to update the algorithm to allow for greater engagement. This includes how members act with features like hashtags, the types of people they’re engaging with, and what sort of content seems to be more of their liking.
LinkedIn added how its homepage has billions of people returning to it daily. To ensure enhanced performance and customization of the newsfeed, they’ve included sparse ID features to their algorithm that offer recommendations and power such activity.
So to put it simply, they’re including greater signals like hashtags, content posts, likes, and shares to gauge what it is that members are loving the most. Moreover, it’s even admitted to allowing a rise in these parameters for recommendations by 500 times.
The company feels its focus right now seems to be on providing users with what they love the most. See, content would be more focused and said to be arising from specific groups or communities on a smaller scale. And that would be the types of content you’re engaging with more frequently than others.
The app has a lot more factors worth considering for its algorithm and that would predict the kinds of engagement that are likely to arise. Therefore, members can see this as an exciting change with feeds that are dubbed as being more interesting now than before. After all, what’s better than having a feed that’s perfectly in line with your interests right?
However, experts do feel it’s not the best thing for those trying to explore or venture into discovery as compared to sticking to things they love. So if you’re seeing more things from the same members then this is the reason.
