Introducing the new "Following" feed - bringing readers and writers closer than ever

Hey folks! We have some exciting news for you. We've been working tirelessly to improve your experience on Hashnode, and today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Following feed.

With this update, you'll be able to access the latest posts from the writers or publications you follow or are subscribed to in chronological order. Here’s how it looks:

What is the "Following" feed?

The "Following" feed is specially designed that allows you to:

  1. Quickly access the latest posts from writers or publications you follow or are subscribed to in chronological order.

  2. Engage more directly with your favorite authors.

Personalized feed vs. Following feed

We've designed the Following feed to complement our existing Personalized feed. While the Personalized feed helps you discover top articles from the tags and writers you follow, the Following feed shows you only posts from the writers and publications you follow or are subscribed to in chronological order.

How it benefits writers

The Following feed isn't just a tool for readers. It's also a game-changer for writers. Here's how:

  1. It allows writers to reach their followers more effectively with each new post.

  2. It provides a platform for writers to build more direct relationships with their readers.

What's next?

We're already looking ahead! Here's what we have planned:

Our team is improving the Personalized feed to further enhance the discoverability of new content. We aim to surface the top posts on the platform more effectively.

So, stay tuned for future updates as we continue to innovate and improve your Hashnode experience.

I can't follow any writers, don't have a following or personalised feed option. What am I missing? Thanks
