Seeing posts from last week in your LinkedIn feed?

 


It's not a bug, it's a choice.


LinkedIn lets you select your preferred feed view:


  • Most relevant posts (The recommended, algorithmic feed)

  • Most recent posts (A reverse chronological feed)

I keep my setting on "Most relevant." The algorithm analyzes my activity to show me content I'm likely interested in.

But the bigger value isn't just in viewing—it's in creating.

The "relevance" model gives quality posts a long life. Unlike X, where content decays in hours, LinkedIn will surface your post for days. If you post a few times a week, LinkedIn can spread the engagement so you get better results from all of them.

A warning: posting too frequently can cause a conflict, making your previous post decay faster as the new one gets shown.

Then again, sometimes you only need an audience of one. The person who matters most and the reason for your post.

To change your feed preference:


🟦 Click your "Me" icon > Settings & Privacy.


🟦 Go to Account preferences > Feed preferences.


🟦 Select your preferred view.

Which do you prefer, and why?
