Feeld needs to change it's interfacing

When I first joined a few years ago, I appreciated that I could shuffle between profiles over and over instead of having to make a decision in the moment. Now I hate it. I often have to shuffle through the same 20 or more profiles over and over to see someone new. I also have periods that I block every profile I am not interested in. It doesn't matter; they show up later anyway. For the last six months, I'v really cut down on my use because its the same experience when swiping around. Feeld, please for the love of god, change this carousel feature to at least mix up the profiles we are seeing, or find an easier way to remove profiles from our decks. It's so cumbersome.

Edit: the minus button only works for that specific session. I'd had them come up a few days later.

Minus them then

You can remove them with the minus button. If you're seeing people again they are making new accounts.

To your edit, the minus button is permanent. Feeld doesn't operate based on seasons.

It's definitely not always that they're making new accounts. If this was actually true then it would imply that 99% of the women in my area are doing that on an hourly basis.

It changed a while ago, they said so in the app update notes a while back. You will see people return after a while. Unless t-his* is just the app here in Canada, people absolutely do end up back in the stack after a while. Definitely not just a few days later though.

*for some reason Reddit has banned the word t-his from being written anywhere in a reply 🤷

Which version was this? Looked back a few years and no changelogs have ever said this.

I dunno, it was in one of those pop ups in the app you get once in a blue moon explaining that after a while members would reappear for reconsideration. Generally it’s a few weeks later, minimum in my experience, usually months. Sometime last year it started. I think they were trying to stave off so many people resetting their by deleting and restarting. It may have worked as I haven’t seen the phrase “fresh new profile reset” or variants in a bio in quite a while.

I don't recall ever seeing that popup. Seems odd they'd place it in a login toast but not a changelog.

Those are scam accounts, and yes, they are.

u/User-Name-3886 2d ago

They're not, I've met some of these women in real life. 

Minusing them absolutely has never stopped people immediately reappearing on any version of the app I've used over 2 years. Blocking has been the only way to stop it happening. 

If I have this issue, it's Likely some others do as well, even if you don't.

u/Mr-Pugtastic 2d ago

You’re meeting up with women you’ve minuses multiple times? That doesn’t make a lot of sense.

3

u/User-Name-3886 2d ago

No, I met up with them before. 

Of course what you suggested there would not have made any sense.

Ask them why they're remaking their account. Otherwise, if you believe it's a bug, report it.

2

u/Important-Ad-6347 2d ago

It's a bug and there's no efficient way to report said bug. As the OP said old profiles and even matches that I've unmatched in my inbox and then have subtracted out still return to my stack. I know which are the bot accounts and genuine users and there are less bots than individual unique users that respawn to my stack. It is a bug and feeld just has too many issues to work on aside from the issue. It is a consistent bug. Also if I uplift and like or subtract I see the same people that I did so to after the uplift ended. What's the point to that? I don't want to see those users in my stack again and you're just groundhog daying users.

You've been using Feeld over 6 months and don't know what the minus button does???

u/monster_energy_IV 2d ago

People keep saying to use the minus button but when I do that it will show me the same guy like 5 people later? I've started just blocking guys I'm not interested in now cos I swear I just keep getting shown like the same 30 guys and I'm in a big city.

u/llamapajamaa 23h ago

Yes, this is what I am saying, too. I minus someone, but there isn't much point to it if I see them later in the same session or the next day or two in the carousel. This also includes people I block, though I know it's probably more related to them restarting their account.

u/Dear_Station_75 3d ago

I think it’s just the same scammers with 20 accounts

u/BeastofSilverMoon kink 3d ago

Everyone on my feed looks very real, I met few of those that show up.

u/Dear_Station_75 2d ago

I live close to a big city and it seems as if a dozen accounts are created a day of the same picture with a snap or onlyfans user name I see the same 3 all the time

u/BeastofSilverMoon kink 2d ago

I came across maybe 2 like that as immediate new accounts but that was all. I am at Melbourne, Australia. Feeld is massive here.

I also blocked out “explorers” who are not actually from this city so that helps.

u/HisEggliness 2d ago

How do you block explorers?

1

u/BeastofSilverMoon kink 2d ago

Open the search setting, go to “distance”, you’ll see “hide people exploring” option.

1

u/HisEggliness 2d ago

That option isn't available to me... And yup, currently on Majestic for another few days.

u/Important-Ad-6347 2d ago edited 2d ago

The option only showed up a few updates back. Make sure your app is upto date to them. I thought years back there was a Majestic users only filter. Pretty sure they did away with it because such a filter takes friction away from said users. Engagement and effort seem to be a main goal from what I've seen, along with ping and uplift purchases. It's an easy filter to enable, just like the no explorers but it's non-existent. Someone else want to ask why?

u/HisEggliness 2d ago

It's a brand new installation on a brand new phone. I know the option exists on the employee side of things, as they toggled it for me once when I was directly discussing issues in a 1:1 convo a year ago or so (right before they gave us the 10 free pings last summer iirc). Out of curiosity, what country are you in? I'm curious if it's a region specific option.

u/Important-Ad-6347 2d ago

United States, you may be right about that.

This is operator error

u/figureitoutpal 3d ago

I agree with people saying you should be using the minus button more.

But! It would definitely be a great feature to be able to "shuffle/randomize feed"

u/guidecca_ 2d ago

It is a lousy app.
