Improve my feed

Calibrate your feed with a few quick votes, and choose the lenses you read it by.

Your feed is built from what you trust. Calibration is a short stack of cards that asks you to vote the way you really feel. Each answer is a real vote into your trust graph, so a few minutes of honest calls can sharpen what you see next.

Ten cards, one call each, and your feed learns what you trust.

Where to find it: Click More in the left sidebar, then Calibrate. Or look for Improve my feed in the welcome quest, on an empty home feed, and under Feed in Settings. After you have finished once, Settings renames the row to Recalibrate.

How a card works

You get up to ten cards. Some are real posts where people already disagree (probes). Others are short statements written by labeled AI perspectives. On a statement, the author is hidden until you vote, so you judge the words first.

  1. Press Improve my feed on the intro page titled Where do you stand?
  2. Optionally pick a few topics you care about (you can Skip).
  3. On each card, press UpTrust, DownTrust, or Skip.
  4. After you vote, a reveal shows which reference voices tend to agree with you and which see it differently. Press Continue.

What it changes

UpTrust and DownTrust here count as real votes on the post and its topic, the same family of signal as everyday voting. They teach the site who you trust and on what. When you finish, you get a short summary of what pulls on you, then a link back to your feed. Give scores a minute to settle, then look around.

Want more control later? Keep using UpTrust and DownTrust and topic trust as you browse. Your private record of that work lives on Your trust footprint.

Sort your feed, or read it through a lens

On your home page, click the small arrow next to the For You tab. A menu opens with two parts.

  • Sort changes the order: new, uptrust, or trust.
  • Lenses changes whose trust ranks the feed. For You is your own network. The house is UpTrust's curated starting lens. Any lenses you added show below them.

When a lens is on, the tab shows the lens name instead of For You. That way you always know whose view you are reading. Pick For You to go back.

Add or remove lenses

  1. In the same menu, click Edit lenses...
  2. A box called Lenses in your menu opens. Check the lenses you want. You can pick from AI perspective voters, Groups, and Communities found in the voting.
  3. Click Save.

For You is always in the menu and cannot be removed. Your lens list is saved in this browser only, so another computer or phone starts with the standard set.

Tip

Vote how you really feel. You can change any vote later the same way you always undo or retake a trust vote.
