In June 2025, LinkedIn quietly shifted how your feed works. Instead of prioritizing recent posts, the platform started serving you what it considers relevant, even if that content is days, weeks, or even months old.
If your feed feels chaotic, repetitive, or full of things you don’t care about, you’re not imagining it. The good news: you can fix it.
You just need to train the algorithm.
How to fix your feed
LinkedIn’s algorithm responds to your behavior. Your job is to send clear signals about what matters to you, and what doesn’t.
Three actions.
1. Get rid of the content you don’t want
LinkedIn keeps showing you irrelevant content? Cut off the signals feeding it.
- Switch your feed to “Most Recent.” Settings & Privacy → Account preferences → Preferred feed view → Most recent posts.
- Stop seeing irrelevant ads. Click the three dots on any sponsored post and select “I don’t want to see this.” Do it often. It trains the system.
- Unfollow people in your network whose posts you don’t want. You can stay connected without seeing their content. Useful when someone is consistently flooding your feed with things you don’t care about.
- Leave or mute irrelevant groups. Group spam adds up.
2. Curate the content you DO want to see
For people whose posts you always want to see:
- Go to their profile and click the bell icon below their banner. (You need to be connected or following them first.) That tells LinkedIn to prioritize their content for you.
- Unfollow people whose content you don’t want, even if you stay connected. Decluttering your feed without burning the relationship is a real option.
3. Train the algorithm with meaningful engagement
LinkedIn watches your behavior closely, and not all engagement counts equally.
- Likes are the weakest signal. They barely register.
- Comments matter more, but only if they’re meaningful. A one-word “I agree” doesn’t help anyone, including the algorithm.
- Commenting in conversations (replying to other people’s comments, not just to the original post) is the strongest signal you can send.
The more thoughtful, relevant interaction you have with the content you want to see more of, the more LinkedIn surfaces that kind of content to you.
If your feed has gone sideways, you’re not powerless. Prune the junk. Elevate the voices you actually want to hear. Show up in the conversations that matter to you. LinkedIn will follow your lead.
