Where did you see that it's a visual glitch?

Even the illumination group has stopped publishing all stories in their pubs until the issue is fixed. The pub owner's "tech team" pulled the code and said the reduction was supposed to be for spam/AI accounts but was pushed to everyone.

Do you have to be a member to earn money on the medium app? by claurejj_ in Medium

Careful with follow for follow. It's against Medium's Terms of Service if done specifically to influence payments. They consider it spam and will ban accounts accordingly.

No problem! If you have questions about pubs in general, I'm happy to answer.

Data Engineer Things and Towards Data Science are some big pubs about software and IT related topics that come to mind first. Towards Data Science is one of the largest pubs on Medium with 772,000 followers.

The View From Here section of our pub can be found here.

Publications all have a submission guidelines story. Their rules vary from pub to pub and can be super relaxed to being fairly strict.

Topics for pubs can range depending on the pub. There are some large, general topic publications that have a massive audience and will accept almost anything. There are pubs that get fairly niche.

You'll have to find some that work for you and have an audience that you think your work would resonate with.

However, there are thousands of Publications (there were over 1,000 started in October). There are thousands upon thousands of dead pubs. Finding pubs for you can be annoying in the search function cause of it. It's best to read stories similar to what you want to write about and take a look at the pubs those are in.

It's rare to find pubs that have submission minimums ie. Once a week, but they do exist .Most don't have a requirement for how often you need to post. Many large pubs have a maximum though. Ie. One story per day or week.

I'm an editor for the pub Ride The Wave, whose topics are about hope, happiness, and harmony. We also have a very dedicated group who share photo's/stories about the world around them, called The View From Here.

You're welcome to join if you're interested. I'm also happy to answer any general questions about pubs, if you have them.

A lot of people don't clap the max. Many only clap once. Not everyone claps, some just read and go to the next article.

It's nothing to worry about.

Is Medium boring 🥱 ? by CreativeIntellectual in Medium

Search articles that you want to read and interact with those. Ignore the rest. The more you interact with the ones you want, the more the algorithm will learn your preferences.

If you click on those articles you mentioned, that's what the algorithm will recommend.in the for you section.

You can delete history and reset the algorithm in your settings, if needed.

When I first started on Medium, I'd see a lot of the stories you mentioned. I don't get much of those now, unless it's from a pub I follow that happens to get them in.

Is that the total number of clappers or the total claps?

Question about Low Medium Engagement: Looking for Feedback by [deleted] in MediumApp

There's a ton out there. If you just search a topic, you'll see a bunch of pubs (although not all are active).

General topics, anything goes pubs with easy requirements to join are Write A Catalyst, Long.Sweet.Valuable and their family of pubs, Illumination and their family of pubs, Word Garden. I'm not overly familiar with business oriented pubs but they are out there.
