🚀 Day 15 of Building Crowdwide

A small update from Crowdwide!

We now have 11 members, 43 posts, and 4 communities. Still early, but slowly moving forward.

The Crowdwide Partnership Program is now live 🎉 The process is simple. People can apply with their details, and I’ll review them manually. No crazy traffic numbers or high engagement requirements.

I also made some improvements to the feed and community recommendations.

The dashboard now has a “Communities for you” section that recommends public communities based on users’ interests and activity. It tries to show relevant communities first instead of just showing the most popular ones.

I also improved the feed algorithm:
- Posts you recently opened are less likely to keep appearing.
- Engagement gets a small boost, but it’s not everything.
- Similar topics are mixed up when possible.
- Recent activity matters more when understanding your interests.

The discovery mix, new-voice boosts, and other existing feed features are still there.

I also added Crowdwide’s Instagram to the public website footer.

The main idea is still the same: giving posts a fair chance to be discovered instead of letting follower counts decide everything.

There’s still a lot to improve, but I’m happy to keep building and testing things step by step. 💜

Let’s see how the next few days go!
