# It used to be!

* * *

It used to be! I understand why they aren’t doing it as the sole page — new
users who don’t follow anybody will have a hard time discovering any posts at
all — but recommendations used to be a page you went intentionally & the
default used to be LIFO of followed accounts’ posts. Not only is that no
longer the default experience, but it literally doesn’t exist anymore: even
‘new in network’ is algorithmic & doesn’t reliably limit itself to new *or* to
in-network.
