Today I've realized that Instagram doesn't sort posts by timestamp, but instead by some weird-ass "importance" algorithm.
That finally explains why I keep missing posts from my friends, thinking there's no new content, because some "influencer's" photo keeps blocking the top of my feed for hours or even days.
You literally had one job Instagram...
@fribbledom it's called algorithmic timestamping or something like that. IT guesses what you are interested in so that you can be better targetted with advertisement. That is one of the concepts sought to be overcome by the federated systems.
Well, it clearly fails. I've seen that post, why keep it at the top the next time I visit the site, when you're actively hiding new content below it.
It's not even in Instagram's interest, I would imagine. Had I known there's new photos below that old post, I may have spent more time on their site.
@fribbledom @Absinthe Time You must be joking. They don't have an option to sort them by posted date something?
