There are already *a ton* of UK companies, organisations, newspapers, celebrities, etc. with accounts here out of the box, all blue-tick-verified. Quite a good starting base. #Threads
After following one (popular) account, my Home feed suddenly showed me a list of random influencers. Potentially annoying, I thought. Then I followed more accounts closer to my interests, and the feed started transforming to recommend me more of the same. So it's pretty strongly algorithmic. #Threads
@hughster Which icon is the feed? The home button on the left?
@hughster I just see a lot of crap from accounts I don't follow on the home button. I assume that will change once I start following more accounts? Change as in disappear completely.
@kelownagurl Yep, mine's pretty relevant to me already after a flurry of follows and likes.
@hughster OK, I just followed a bunch of people. How do I get it to show my ONLY the people I follow?
@kelownagurl You can't, yet. Fair few gripes about it, including from some big influencers so I imagine it'll get added quickly.
@hughster Hopefully. That's a huge turnoff for me. That and no web based app.
@kelownagurl There will be a web based app; it was switched on earlier today for a few hours as a teaser.
@hughster Oh that's good news. Thanks for all your help.
