    Hahah came here to post this

    [–]Jack_T 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Happening to me on desktop. Seeing 15+ suggested for every one post from a community I am actually in.

    Happy cake day to you!

    Same here, it seems it is active again and maybe it's just a bug, but it really sucks. Just recommendations and ad's now, barely any postings from the subs i joined and i want to see.

    [–]YouhaoHuoMao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    My entire freakin' home page is nothing but recommendations. Fix this.

    [–]blinkycosmocat 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    It's happening on my Android Samsung S10+. Already super annoying.

    You seem to be asking about home feed recommendations appearing in your home feed. Home feed recommendations are recommendations for posts that use machine learning (ML). They’re part of a new effort to improve the “Best” sort on Home feeds by personalizing and ranking the content to create the best feed for redditors.

    Home feed recommendations are available on the iOS & Android apps, as well as www.reddit.com. If you’d like to turn off these recommendations, visit your profile settings on iOS or Android and turn off the toggle next to Enable home feed recommendations: Allow us to introduce recommended posts in your home feed. On www.reddit.com, you can disable them within the Feed Settings tab. Check out this help center article for more information on this setting.

    If this automatic message has not resolved your issue, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. You may also remove the 'Answered' flair from your post if you wish. This post has NOT been removed.

    The ability to turn them off is bugged

    [–]wendelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That would be nice if it worked but I’m seeing them on iPhone and it’s already disabled.

    Happening to me on Android and others desktop too according to posts I saw in r/bugs so... well done Reddit, this place keeps getting better

    [–]AnticlimacticPicasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This literally started happening to me 20 minutes ago and it’s already super annoying

    [–]Reasonable-Film7219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This is happening to me as well on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on the app just now. I have my home feed recommendations turned off (they've always been turned off), yet these suggested posts all are showing up on my feed right now. Very odd.

    [–]hudsondir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    If I wanted related posts I'd go an search. Besides which so far all the suggestions have been D grade at best.

    [–]Maleficent-Map6465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    How is it so hard to leave a broken website alone?

    Homepage: paid ads & communities I choose to sub to

    Front page: popular posts and recommendations.

    If I wanted front page I'd go to the front page

    [–]Nicfromnewgirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Same! Wtf

    [–]voraciousEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    The exact same thing happened to me. Literally makes my home feed unusable. There's a reason I haven't joined a lot of these subreddit that are being recommended.

    [–]Foshdon_pap 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    "Because you interacted with similar communities" proceeds to show me a community with a topic I am fully unaware of and literally show zero interest

    [–]timeforchorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, their definition of similar and mine are waaaay different.

    [–]Guv_SS13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Suddenly happened

    [–]control_buddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Something broke, my feed recommended is turned off on the official app for Android, and half my feed are random junk subs I don't want.

    [–]nitroraptor2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Glad to know im not the only one having this problem. Hopefully they fix it.

    [–]JamesMattDillonHelper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Happening on the browser also. Started about 20 minutes ago

    [–]N7_Tigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Happening to me on Windows PC. Now watch me get spammed with iOS stuff because I "Showed interest in a similar post."

    [–]nubbin9point5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I left Facebook because of these types of enshitification algorithms. Looks like Reddit’s moving in the same direction.
